Avoid creating a source of ignition for spilled fuel. If fuel is spilled,
do not attempt to start the engine but move the machine away
from the area of spillage and avoid creating any source of ignition
until fuel vapors have dissipated.
When fuel is spilled on yourself or your clothes, wash your skin
and change clothes immediately.
Store fuel in containers specifically designed and approved for
this purpose.
Store fuel in a cool, well-ventilated area, safely away from sparks,
