Filling a Portable Fuel Container
WARNING
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in the vehicle.
Static electricity discharge from the container can ignite the fuel vapor. You
can be badly burned and the vehicle damaged if this occurs. To help avoid
injury to you and others:
- Dispense fuel only into approved containers.
- Do not fill a container while it is inside a vehicle, in a vehicle's trunk,
pickup bed, or on any surface other than the ground.
- Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the inside of the fill opening before
operating the nozzle. Contact should be maintained until the filling is
complete.
- Do not smoke while pumping fuel.
- Do not use a cellular phone while pumping fuel.
