Be careful when refueling
Spill of oil
- Insert the refueling nozzle firmly into the back, and if the refueling stops automatically, do not add any further. Also, be careful not to forget to close the cap after refueling.
- Refueling the capless filler can be performed by simple operation, but if additional action is performed, oil is more likely to overflow than a normal filler car, which is very dangerous. Insert the refueling nozzle firmly, start refueling slowly, and never add additional activities.
Removal of static electricity
If static electricity is applied to the body, clothes, etc., it may become a source of fire. Especially in winter, it is easy to dry and the generation of static electricity increases. When refueling, touch the static electricity removal equipment in the measuring machine before refueling. Also, be careful as chemical fibers such as fleece will spread instantaneously when the fire starts.
Engine stop during refueling
Let's stop the engine of the car during refueling. There is a risk of igniting steam generated from gasoline, etc. Of course, smoking on the stand is strictly prohibited.
Acts that customers can perform on their own at self-stands
- Refuel gasoline or light oil directly to fuel tanks for automobiles, motorcycles, and motorbikes.
- Refill kerosene into a container.
It is forbidden for customers to refill gasoline in containers at self-stands.
If you want to refill gasoline into a container and purchase it, ask a gas station employee.
Also, use containers that conform to the Fire Services Act.
