NEVER ll or drain fuel tank indoors.
Replace fuel cap securely and clean up spilled
fuel.
Never ll containers inside a vehicle or on a
truck or trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always
place containers on the ground away from
your vehicle before lling.
When practical, remove gas-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it
on the ground. If this is not possible, then
refuel such equipment on a trailer with a
