―  Fuel may cause irritation if it comes in contact with skin and eyes.

―  If fuel ignites and causes a fire, it may lead to serious injury or death, and damage to property and facilities.

•  A person charged with static electricity could cause a fire or explosion, resulting in death or serious injury. Before performing work on the fuel system, discharge static electricity by touching the vehicle body.
