Fuel and oil are highly flammable. If they become inflamed, extinguish the fire with a dry powder extinguisher.
•
Petrol and oil are dangerous, avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale or ingest. If you swallow fuel and/or
oil, seek medical advice immediately. If it comes into contact with fuel or oil, clean with plenty of soap and water as
