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.
