Please be careful when handling gasoline!
About the Dangers of Gasoline
- Gasoline vaporizes even at temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees and can ignite from a small flame, resulting in explosive combustion. Containers for gasoline must be made of materials with a certain strength and are subject to capacity restrictions according to fire safety regulations.
- It is extremely dangerous to put gasoline in polyethylene cans intended for kerosene, as it may ignite due to static electricity, so please do not do it under any circumstances.
- The vaporized gasoline is heavier than air, making it prone to accumulation and easily forming a flammable atmosphere over a wide area, which poses a risk of ignition from sources of fire such as static electricity or an open flame from a lighter occurring at a distance.
About Gasoline Cans
- Do not place gasoline containers in direct sunlight or in high-temperature areas.
- When handling gasoline containers, please ensure safety in the surrounding area and make sure the engine is turned off.
- Please release the air before opening the lid of the gasoline can.
- Users are not allowed to fill gasoline into gasoline containers themselves at the self-service stand.
- When using gasoline containers, please read the instruction manual carefully and handle them properly.
