•Do not get back into a vehicle onceyou have begun refueling since youcan generate static electricity bytouching, rubbing or sliding againstany item or fabric (polyester, sat‐in, nylon, etc.) capable of produc‐ing static electricity. Static elec‐tricity discharge can ignite fuel va‐pors resulting in rapid burning. Ifyou must reenter the vehicle, youshould once again eliminate poten‐tially dangerous static electricitydischarge by touching a metal partof the vehicle, away from the fuelfiller neck, nozzle or other gasolinesource.
•When using an approved portablefuel container, be sure to place thecontainer on the ground prior torefueling. Static electricity dis‐charge from the container can ig‐nite fuel vapors causing a fire.Once refueling has begun, contactwith the vehicle should be main‐tained until the filling is complete.Use only approved portable plasticfuel containers designed to carryand store gasoline.
