Important safety notes
WARNING
Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious personal injury.
Never allow sparks, flames or smoking materials near gasoline.
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing contact.
Direct skin contact with fuels and the inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging to your health.
WARNING
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create pressure in the system which could cause a gas discharge. This could cause the gasoline to spray back out when removing the fuel pump nozzle, which could cause personal injury.
Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a gasoline engine. Even small amounts
of the wrong fuel result in damage to the fuel system and engine.
Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel lines. Notify a qualified specialist workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel lines drained completely.
