If  you  get  fuel  on  yourself  and  then  something 
ignites 
it, 
you  could  be  badly  burned.  Fuel  can 
spray  out  on  you  if  you  open  the  fuel cap too 
quickly.  This  spray can  happen  if  your  tank is 
nearly  full,  and 
is 
more  likely 
in 
hot 
weather. 
Open  the  fuel  cap  slowly  and  wait  for any 
“hiss”  noise  to  stop. Then unscrew  the  cap 
all  the 
way. 
Be careful not 
to 
spill 
fuel.  Clean fuel 
from 
painted 
surfaces as soon as possible.  See 
Cleaning  the  Outside 
of 
Your 
Vehicle 
on 
page 
5-90. 
While refueling, let 
the 
fuel cap hang by the tether 
as shown.
