truck or a trailer bed with a plastic liner. Always

place containers on the ground, away from your

vehicle, before filling.

e) When practical, remove gas-powered

equipment from the truck or trailer and refuel it

on the ground. If this is not possible, then refuel

such equipment on a trailer with a portable

container, rather than from a gasoline

dispenser nozzle.

f) Keep the nozzle in contact with the rim of the

fuel tank or container opening at all times, until

refueling is complete. Do not use a nozzle lock-

open device.

g) Replace fuel cap securely and wipe up spilled
