foil in a microwave oven. The spark could ig-
nite gasoline fumes present while refuling.
Static discharge from your body can ignite
gasoline fumes present when you get back
out of the vehicle and touch the fuel nozzle.

ous damage to the vehicle, serious injury or
death to persons in immediate vicinity.
fDo not use a cellphone while pumping gas.
