WARNING: Automotive fuels can cause serious injury or death

if misused or mishandled.

WARNING: Fuel ethanol and gasoline may contain benzene,

which is a cancer-causing agent.

Observe the following guidelines when handling automotive fuel:

• Extinguish all smoking materials

and any open flames before

fueling your vehicle.

• Always turn off the vehicle before

fueling.

• Automotive fuels can be harmful

or fatal if swallowed. Fuels such as gasoline and ethanol are 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.

• 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 and/or

ethanol 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.
