Caution
If you use inappropriate grade fuel
or put incorrect fuel additives into
the fuel tank, the engine and
catalytic converter may be
seriously damaged.
Be sure to use the correct fuel

your vehicle when refuelling. If you
fill Diesel in your petrol powered
vehicle, your vehicle can be
seriously damaged.
For safety reasons, fuel
containers, pumps and hoses
must be properly earthed. Static
electricity can ignite the gasoline
vapor. You can be burned and
your vehicle damaged.
