Maintenance and Specifications • Shut the engine off and extinguish all smoking materials and open flames before fueling. • Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if swallowed. If fuel is swallowed, call a physician immediately. • Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. • Avoid getting fuel in your eyes. If fuel is splash in the eyes, remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. • If fuel is splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. • Be particularly careful if you are taking "Antabuse" or other forms of disulfiram. Breathing fuel vapors or skin contact could cause sickness or serious personal injury. The flow of fuel through the fuel pump nozzle can produce static electricity, which can cause a fire if fuel is pumped into an ungrounded fuel container. To avoid static build-up: • Place approved fuel container on the ground. • DO NOT fill a container while it is in the vehicle. • Keep the fuel pump nozzle in contact with the fuel container while filling. • DO NOT use a device that would hold the fuel pump handle in the fill position. Unleaded gasoline engines • Use only unlead fuel. • Use "Regular" unleaded gasoline with an (R+M)/2 octane rating of (R+M)/2 METHOD 87. • Do not use fuel containing methanol. • Do not use fuel or fuel additives with metal compounds. 87 168
