WARNING
Electrostatic buildup can create sparks and
ignite fuel vapors. There is a risk of fire and
explosion. Always touch the vehicle body before opening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. Any existing electrostatic buildup is
thereby discharged.

fuel system.

surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.

Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or injection
system could be blocked by particles from
the fuel can.
