Gasoline and Gasoline Vapors (Gas):

 

– GASOLINE IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND 

ExPLOSIVE.

 

– Gasoline

 can cause a fire or explosion if ignited.

 

– Gasoline

 is a liquid fuel but it’s vapors can ignite.

 

– Gasoline

 is a skin irritant and needs to be cleaned up 

immediately if spilled on skin or clothes.

 

– Gas has a distinctive odor, this will help detect 

potential leaks quickly.

 

– In any gas fire, flames should not be extinguished 

unless by doing so the fuel supply valve can be 
turned OFF. This is because if a fire is extinguished 
and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, then an 
explosion hazard could be created.

 

– Gas expands or contracts with ambient temperatures. 

Never fill the gas tank to full capacity, as gas needs 
room to expand if temperatures rise.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG):

 

– LPG IS HIGHLY FLAMMABLE AND ExPLOSIVE.

 

– Flammable gas under pressure can cause a fire or 

explosion if ignited.

 

– LPG is heavier than air and can settle in low places 

while dissipating.

 

– LPG has a distinctive odor added to help detect 

potential leaks quickly.

 

– In any petroleum gas fire, flames should not be 

extinguished unless by doing so the fuel supply 
valve can be turned OFF. This is because if a fire is 
extinguished and a supply of fuel is not turned OFF, 
then an explosion hazard could be created.

 

– When exchanging LPG cylinders, be sure the cylinder 

valve is of the same type.

 

– Always keep the LPG cylinder in an upright position.

 

– LPG will burn skin if it comes in contact with it. 

Keep any and all LPG away from skin at all times.
