WARNING Even if empty, portable fuel containers can leak and cause a fire and serious personal injuries, especially in a crash. x For your safety, we strongly recommend that you do not travel with a portable fuel container in your vehicle. x If, under exceptional circumstances, you must transport a portable fuel container, please observe the following: – Never fill a portable fuel container while it is anywhere in or on the vehicle (for example, in the luggage compartment). Static electricity can build up while filling and can ignite fuel vapors, causing a fire. – Always place a portable fuel container on the ground before filling. Never spill fuel inside the vehicle or luggage compartment. Fuel vapors are highly flammable. – Always keep the filler nozzle completely inside the portable container before and during filling. – If filling a portable container made of metal, the filler nozzle must always be in contact with the container. This will help prevent static electricity from discharging and causing a fire. – Always observe local and state or provincial laws about the use, storage, and transportation of portable fuel containers. – Make certain that the portable fuel container meets industry standards, such as ANSI/ASTM F852-86.
