3.1 FUEL SYSTEM, FUEL
Caution:
Petrol is highly inflammable, and under certain conditions can cause explosions. Always
refuel in a well ventilated area, and make sure that the engine is off. Never smoke while
refuelling or when in a fuel storage area; make sure that there are no naked flames nearby and that
sparks cannot occur. Do not overfill the fuel tank. When you have finished refuelling, the pipe between
the filler cap and the tank should be empty.
Make sure to close the filler cap properly. Do not spill any fuel. Petrol fumes and spilled petrol are easily
ignited. In the event of spillage make sure that the area in question is dry before you restart the engine.
Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with skin and do not inhale petrol fumes.
Keep out of reach of children!
Caution: Never let the engine’s fuel pump run dry. This takes only a few seconds and
damages the fuel pump beyond repair!
