Maintenance and Specifications
Fuel ethanol and  gasoline may contain  benzene, which is a
cancer-causing agent.
Observe the following  guidelines when handling  automotive fuel:
Extinguish all smoking  materials
and any open  flames before
fueling your vehicle.
Always turn off  the vehicle before
fueling.
Automotive fuels can  be harmful
or fatal if  swallowed. Fuels such  as gasoline and ethanol  are highly
toxic and if  swallowed can cause  death or permanent injury.  If fuel is
swallowed, call a  physician immediately, even  if no symptoms are
immediately apparent. The  toxic effects of  fuel may not be  visible for
hours.
Avoid inhaling fuel  vapors. Inhaling too  much fuel vapor of  any kind
can lead to  eye and respiratory  tract irritation. In severe  cases,
excessive or prolonged  breathing of fuel  vapor can cause serious
illness and permanent  injury.
Avoid getting fuel  liquid in your  eyes. If fuel is  splashed in the  eyes,
remove contact lenses  (if worn), flush  with water for 15  minutes and
seek medical attention.  Failure to seek  proper medical attention could
lead to permanent  injury.
Fuels can also  be harmful if  absorbed through the skin.  If fuel is
splashed on the  skin and/or clothing,  promptly remove contaminated
clothing and wash  skin thoroughly with  soap and water. Repeated  or
prolonged skin contact  with fuel liquid  or vapor causes skin  irritation.
Be particularly careful  if you are  taking “Antabuse” or other  forms of
disulfiram for the  treatment of alcoholism.  Breathing gasoline and/or
ethanol vapors, or  skin contact could  cause an adverse reaction.  In
sensitive individuals, serious  personal injury or  sickness may result. If
fuel is splashed  on the skin,  promptly wash skin thoroughly  with soap
and water. Consult  a physician immediately  if you experience an
adverse reaction.
FFV fuel tanks  may contain zero  to 85 percent ethanol.  Any fuel
blends containing gasoline  and ethanol should  be treated the same  as
“Fuel Ethanol ”.  To identify if  your vehicle is an  FFV, check your  VIN
or the label  on the inside  of your fuel filler  door. When checking  the
VIN look for  the engine type  identifier (8th character). If  your vehicle
is an FFV,  then the character  will be labeled as  a “K.”
