Maintenance and Specifications WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT AUTOMOTIVE FUELS Important safety precautions Do not overfill the fuel tank. The pressure in an overfilled tank may cause leakage and lead to fuel spray and fire. If the fuel filler cap is venting vapor or if you hear a hissing sound, wait until it stops before completely removing the fuel filler cap. Otherwise, fuel may spray out and cause injury. If you do not use the proper fuel filler cap, excessive pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank may damage the fuel system or cause the fuel cap to disengage in a collision, which may result in personal injury. Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death if misused or mishandled. Fuel ethanol and gasoline may contain benzene, which is a cancer causing agent. • 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. 186
