GASOLINE Summertime also means gas-run tools from lawn mowers and trimmers to weed-eaters and saws. Use an approved safety container with a self-closing lid so vapors cannot escape and never bring gas inside your living quarters. Don't smoke while handling gas. Don't use gas near sparks, flames, hot surfaces and sources of static electricity. Don't use gas to start a fire. Don't use gas to clean paintbrushes. (Close this window to return to the website)
