- Use approved fuel containers.
- Remove the container from the vehicle, trunk, or pickup bed before filling
- Place the container on the ground.
- Place the nozzle inside the fill opening of the container before dispensing fuel, and keep it in contact with the fill opening until filling is complete.
- Fill the container no more than 95% full to allow for expansion.
