2-25. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES.
WARNING
If a fuel spill occurs during refueling, immediately shut down the system, isolate
the defective component(s) and clean up spilled fuel in accordance with local
regulations. Observe the following safety precautions and warnings to prevent
injury to personnel and damage to the equipment:
Do not allow smoking with 500 feet of fuel spill.
Wear protective goggles and gloves. Use fuel resistant gloves when handling
system components due to toxic effects of some fuel additives. Avoid contact
with skin, eyes and clothes. If fuel contacts eyes, immediately flush eyes with
fresh clean water and get medical attention.
Avoid getting fuel on your body or clothing. Fuel can cause chemical burns
on unprotected skin. If clothing becomes saturated with fuel, remove clothing
immediately and wash your body with hot soapy water.
Do not breathe fuel vapors. Refuel only in well-ventilated area. Vapors are
toxic and can cause serious illness or death. If dizziness occurs, leave area
and get fresh air. Get medical attention.
Static discharge could ignite the fuel or cause an explosion of the fuel vapor.
Cover fuel spill with dry soil to reduce rate of vaporization. Make sure a
suitable fire extinguisher is charged and readily available in case of fire.
