Read and heed directions on all product containers, noting flammability and safety precautions. Do not keep gasoline inside the home or transport it in the trunks of automobiles or recreation vehicles. Roll down the windows so moving air can sweep away vapors. Before cutting or welding a fuel tank, fill it with water to drive out any lingering residue or vapor. Many explosions have resulted from using a torch on a tank that was thought to be empty.
Refueling Be cautious during refueling.
Fires and explosions can happen. Besides being a fire hazard, spilled fuel can cause irritation and discomfort if it contacts the skin. Breathing an excess of fuel vapor often causes dizziness and headache. When arriving to refuel, drive up to the fuel pump or storage tank slowly. Be careful not to bump it.
