Safe Fuel Handling Practices - Gasoline And CNG: Handling
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Pickup Heritage. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- USE FLAMMABLE LIQUID HANDLING PRECAUTIONS.
- DO NOT SMOKE or use heat/spark producing equipment near vapors.
- DO NOT eat, smoke or drink where fuel products are handled, processed or stored.
- Wear chemical goggles and nitrile gloves (additional protective clothing and equipment may be necessary in some instances).
- NEVER SIPHON BY MOUTH.
- Use in well-ventilated areas, and control vapors. Be aware that gasoline and CNG vapors are NOT visible. Gasoline vapors are heavier than air, can travel along the floor, and will settle in lower areas.
- Keep flammable fuels in approved, labeled, closed containers.
- When transferring or venting flammable fuels, BOND the receiving container to the source and GROUND the source to the earth.
- WASH HANDS thoroughly after handling any fuel.
