getting fuel on the body or clothing. If clothing becomes saturated with
fuel, remove the clothing immediately and wash body with hot soapy water
and soak clothing in soapy water. Avoid spillage of fuel. When spillage
occurs, cover the affected area with dry soil to reduce its rate of vaporization.
