WARNING WARNING

Do not smoke, use a naked flame, or cause sparks while refueling. The resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injury or death.

WARNING WARNING

Avoid exposing the fuel gasses to any potential sources of ignition as the resulting fire and explosion may cause serious injuries and/or death.

WARNING WARNING

Switch off the engine when refueling, as it is both a source of extreme temperatures, and electrical sparks. Failure to do so may cause a fire or explosion.

WARNING WARNING

Switch off any personal electronic devices such as mobile phones or music players. They have the potential to trigger an explosion or a fire.

WARNING WARNING

Do not overfill the fuel tank. Overfilling may cause spillage when the vehicle is driven. Spillage may also occur if the fuel expands in high ambient temperatures.

WARNING WARNING

Only use containers specifically designed for carrying fuel and always remove them from the vehicle to fill them. Failure to do so may result in spillage and cause a fire.
