Read the oil level on the dipstick (Fig. 8).
When fueling, under certain circumstances, a
static charge can develop, igniting the gasoline. A
fire or explosion from gasoline can burn you and
others and damage property.
If the oil level reading is below the Add mark on the
dipstick, slowly pour only enough oil into the filler hole
to raise the oil level to the Full mark on the dipstick.

Always place gasoline containers on the ground
and away from your vehicle before filling.
Do not fill gasoline containers inside a vehicle or
on a truck or trailer bed because interior
carpets or plastic truck bed liners may insulate
the container and slow the loss of any static
charge.

When practical, remove gasoline-powered
equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel
the equipment with its wheels on the round.
If this is not possible, then refuel such
equipment on a truck or trailer from a portable
container, not from a gasoline dispenser nozzle.
If you must use a gasoline dispenser nozzle, keep
the nozzle in contact with the rim of the fuel
tank or container opening at all times until
fueling is complete.
Filling the Fuel Tank with
Gasoline
For best results, use clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline with an
octane rating of 87 or higher. To ensure freshness, purchase
only the quantity of gasoline that you expect to use in 30
days. Unleaded gasoline burns cleaner, extends engine life,
and promotes good starting. You may use leaded gasoline if
unleaded gasoline is not available.
