Potential risks 

Risk of explosion, poisoning and injury 

Fuels are highly inflammable and toxic if taken. Fuel may cause damage to skin. For example, skin is degreased when it comes into contact with gasoline fuel. Fuel vapors are explosive, invisible and spread out across the floor. They are poisonous when inhaled and have an anesthetizing effect in high concentrations.

Safety precautions/instructions 

• Pay attention to national safety precautions and regulations.
• No fires, sparks, open flames or smoking.
• Ensure the work place is adequately ventilated.
• Never drain or pour in fuels over maintenance pits.
• Store drained fuel in suitable and sealed containers.
• Immediately clean up any fuel which has leaked.

Performing work on a vehicle with open flame 

(e.g. welding or similar)

• Remove the relevant parts of the fuel system before performing this type of work and seal open fuel lines with stop plugs.

• Change clothing coated with fuel as quickly as possible.
