Fuel Safety Reminders
DANGER
A diesel engine will operate on any fuel
which enters the cylinder, whether it is
from the injectors or from the air intake
system. Therefore, if any solvent is used
to flush out the air cleaner element, the
engine may over speed during start-up.
Engine damage, severe injury and/or
death from burns or explosion may occur.
DANGER
DO NOT mix gasoline or alcohol with
diesel oil fuel. This mixture can cause an
explosion and result in severe personal
injury or death.
DANGER
DO NOT remove the fuel tank cap
near an open flame. Diesel fumes are
combustible and can cause an explosion
of fire resulting in severe personal injury
or death.
WARNING
If a fuel leak is detected, stop the engine
immediately. The vapors from hot fuel
are highly flammable which may result
in a fire.
WARNING
DO NOT store fuel containers in the
vehicle. They may leak, explode and
cause or feed a fire. Empty or full, they
present a hazard that may lead to burns in
the event of a fire.
