WARNING
DEATH or SEVERE INJURY can occur from fire and explosion of fuels.
Spilled fuel can ignite or explode and cause serious injury or death to
operating personnel. To avoid fire and explosion during all fuel spill
cleanup procedures:
DO NOT allow any flame producing material within 100 feet
of the FSSP.
DO NOT smoke or allow smoking during refueling operations.
DO NOT allow fuel to drip onto hot surfaces.
DO NOT refuel equipment while its engine is running.
DO NOT allow spilled fuel to come into contact with exposed skin.
ALWAYS wear gloves when cleaning up a fuel spill.
DO NOT allow spilled fuel to get into eyes. ALWAYS wear goggles
when cleaning up any fuel spill.
(2) Small Priming Spills. A small priming spill is not usually dangerous. Use the spill kit's bag of granular sorbent (5)
to spread over the spill. Dig up the sorbent and contaminated soil using the 2-piece non-sparking shovel (8) and place the
sorbent and soil into plastic disposal bags (9). Use tie strips (10) to seal the bags. Store and transport the bags in the 55
gallon drums (11) marked with the "Hazardous Material" caution plate (12). A fire guard should stand by the spill area with
a fire extinguisher until the cleanup operation is completed.

dike around it.
