lighted cigarette or something similar nearby which may result in a fire.

wipe it away as it may cause a fire.

ADVICE
When dust or water mixes into the fuel, this may lead to an engine failure
or accident. When adding the fuel to the fuel tank, take care not to let dust
or water enter in the tank. When refilling directly from a drum can out of
necessity, particularly be cautious to prevent foreign matters from entering into
the tank.
Add the sufficient amount of fuel to the fuel tank, and periodically open the
drain plug located at the bottom part of the tank to discharge the dust and
moisture deposited at the bottom.
