WARNING
Do not perform fuel system checks, inspection, or maintenance while
smoking or near fire, flames, or sparks. Fuel may ignite, causing
damage to vehicle and injury or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Do not turn fuel cap handle more than necessary to remove or seal

cap (para. 2-34).

When refueling vehicle, be careful that nozzle does not slam into filler
pipe. Damage to strainer may occur, allowing dirty fuel to clog up filters.

To help prevent spills and overflows, pay close attention to the
dispensing nozzle while refueling. Do not exceed a safe refueling rate. If
fuel backup and spillage is being experienced, reduce flow rate. Also,
when topping off the tank, a reduced flow rate should be used.
c. Insert fuel filler nozzle into filler neck rubber cone, using caution not to
puncture fuel filler neck strainer. Dispense fuel into fuel tank.
