IV Safety Precautions and Instructions TP-5353 8/94
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Take additional precautions when using the
following fuels:
Gasoline—Store gasoline only in approved red
containers clearly marked GASOLINE.
Propane (LP)—Adequate v entilation is mandatory.
Propane is heavier than air; install gas detectors low in
room. Inspect detectors often.
Natural Gas—Adequate ventilation is mandatory.
Natural gas rises; install gas detectors high in room.
Inspect detectors often.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check LP
vapor gas or natural gas fuel system for leakage using a
soap-water solution with fuel system test pressurized to
6-8 ounces per square inch (10-14 inches water
column). Do not use test solutions that contain
ammonia or chlorine, since the soap will not bubble for
an accurate leakage test.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Storing gasoline and other volatile fuels in day or
subbase fuel tanks can cause an explosion. Store only
diesel fuel in these tanks.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Spilled fuel can cause an explosion. Use a
container to catch fuel when draining fuel system. Wipe
up all spilled fuel after draining system.
Explosive fuel vapors can cause severe injury or
death. Fuel leakage can cause an explosion. Check LP
liquid withdrawal gas fuel system for leakage using a
soap-water solution with fuel system test pressurized
not less than 90 psi (621 kPa). Do not use test solutions
that contain ammonia or chlorine, since the soap will not
bubble for an accurate leakage test.
