Land Rover Discovery: Fuels
Avoid skin contact with fuel where possible. Should contact occur, wash the affected skin with soap and water.
GASOLINE (PETROL)
Highly flammable - OBSERVE NO SMOKING POLICY.
Swallowing gasoline (petrol) can result in mouth and throat irritation and absorption from the stomach can result in drowsiness and unconsciousness.
Small amounts can be fatal to children. Inhalation into the lungs, through vomiting, is a very serious hazard.
Gasoline (petrol) dries the skin and can cause irritation and prolonged or repeated contact may cause dermatitis; if it is allowed to enter the eyes, it will cause severe smarting. Wash affected area with copious amounts of water and SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Gasoline (petrol) may contain appreciable quantities of benzene, which is toxic upon inhalation and the concentration of vapors must be kept very low. High concentrations will cause eye, nose and throat irritation, nausea, headache, depression and symptoms of drunkenness. Very high concentrations will result in rapid loss of consciousness.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation when handling and using gasoline (petrol). Great care must be taken to avoid the serious consequences of inhalation in the event of vapour build up arising from spillages in confined spaces.
Special precautions apply to cleaning and maintenance operations on gasoline (petrol) storage tanks.
Gasoline (petrol) should not be used as a cleaning agent. It must not be siphoned by mouth.
GAS-OIL (DIESEL FUEL)
Combustible.
Prolonged skin contact with high boiling point gas oils (diesel fuel) may cause serious skin disorders including skin cancer.
Inhalation into the lungs will cause internal bleeding - SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting - SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
KEROSENE (PARAFFIN)
Used also as heating fuel, solvent and cleaning agent.
Flammable - OBSERVE NO SMOKING POLICY.
Irritation of the mouth and throat may result from swallowing. The main hazard from swallowing arises if liquid aspiration into the lungs occurs.
Liquid contact dries the skin and can cause irritation or dermatitis. Splashes in the eye may be slightly irritating.
In normal circumstances the low volatility does not give rise to harmful vapors. Exposure to mists and vapors from kerosene at elevated temperature should be avoided (mists may arise in dewaxing). Avoid skin and eye contact and make sure there is adequate ventilation.
If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting - SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
