Warning: Gasoline is extremely flammable, especially in vapor form. Note that gasoline vapor is heavier than air and will collect in inspection pits or poorly ventilated areas. Protect your eyes from gasoline. If gasoline gets into your eyes, wash immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention.
1. Always perform maintenance procedures in a well-ventilated area to prevent build-up of vapors.
2. Never work in a room where there is a gas appliance or other open flame. Make sure there are no open incandescent lamps or any other sources of sparks.
3. Check all electrical equipment. Remember that some electrical appliances (drill, cutter, etc.) create sparks during normal operation and should not be used near gasoline or any components containing gasoline. Be aware of the possible presence of gasoline vapors before using electrical equipment.
4. Gasoline must be stored in sealed containers that are suitable for gasoline and clearly labeled.
5. Always turn off the ignition before working on the fuel system; it is preferable to disconnect the battery (negative terminal first), to prevent the possibility of sparks due to short circuits.
