WARNING: Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if

swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if

swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is

swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms

are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be

visible for hours.

• Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before fueling

your vehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle before fueling.

• Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind

can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,

excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious

illness and permanent injury.

• Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,

remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and

seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could

lead to permanent injury.

• Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is

splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated

clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or

prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.

• Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of

disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors,

or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive

individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is

splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and

water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse

reaction.

• The Gasoline Distributors, who have converted many stations to

self-service pumps are suggesting an increase of fires caused by static

during refueling, particularly with women. They suggest you not climb

back into your car during refuel as there is a chance you will build up

a new electrical charge and not discharge it by touching anything

metal before you grab the filler nozzle.
