WARNINGS

FLAMMABLE FUEL. Do not allow smoking within 100 feet (30.50 meters)

of the storage area. Post NO SMOKING signs around the area. Avoid

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.

Be certain a suitable fire extinguisher is present and that it is properly

charged and positioned so as to be readily available in case of fire. Death or

serious injury may result if personnel fail to strictly observe safety precautions.

If fuel spills on or around a tank or within the diked area, shut down any

nearby engine-driven equipment. Do not resume operation until it has been

determined that the vapor concentrations are below the explosive range.

Fuels and fuel sludge can cause injury to skin or eyes.

If fuel or sludge comes into contact with skin, flush with soap and water.

If fuel or sludge comes into contact with eyes, flush with water.

For further information on first aid, refer to FM 4-25.11.
