WARNING: Automotive fuels can be harmful or fatal if
swallowed. Fuel such as gasoline is highly toxic and if
swallowed can cause death or permanent injury. If fuel is
swallowed, call a physician immediately, even if no symptoms
are immediately apparent. The toxic effects of fuel may not be
visible for hours.

Extinguish all smoking materials and any open flames before fueling
your vehicle.

Always turn off the vehicle before fueling.

Avoid inhaling fuel vapors. Inhaling too much fuel vapor of any kind
can lead to eye and respiratory tract irritation. In severe cases,
excessive or prolonged breathing of fuel vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent injury.

Avoid getting fuel liquid in your eyes. If fuel is splashed in the eyes,
remove contact lenses (if worn), flush with water for 15 minutes and
seek medical attention. Failure to seek proper medical attention could
lead to permanent injury.

Fuels can also be harmful if absorbed through the skin. If fuel is
splashed on the skin and/or clothing, promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated or
prolonged skin contact with fuel liquid or vapor causes skin irritation.

Be particularly careful if you are taking “Antabuse” or other forms of
disulfiram for the treatment of alcoholism. Breathing gasoline vapors,
or skin contact could cause an adverse reaction. In sensitive
individuals, serious personal injury or sickness may result. If fuel is
splashed on the skin, promptly wash skin thoroughly with soap and
water. Consult a physician immediately if you experience an adverse
reaction.

The Gasoline Distributors, who have converted many stations to
self-service pumps are suggesting an increase of fires caused by static
during refueling, particularly with women. They suggest you not climb
back into your car during refuel as there is a chance you will build up
a new electrical charge and not discharge it by touching anything
metal before you grab the filler nozzle.
