the manuals provided by the manufacturer or the vehicle or equipment
being tested or used for all information and testing procedures whenever
diagnosing, repairing or operating such vehicle or equipment.

Fuel vapors are toxic and explosive, which can cause severe
injury or death.
•
Use proper ventilation to avoid breathing fuel vapors.
•
Minimize contact with the skin with the use of gloves (such as nitrile
gloves) when there is possibility of getting methanol fuel on your hands.
•
If the skin is directly exposed, wash the area immediately and change any
clothes that have become wet with fuel.
•
Always wear approved safety glasses when testing. Should fuel get into
eyes, flush eyes immediately with water and consult your physician.
Vehicles emit flammable vapors which can ignite.
•
Keep flames, sparks, cigarettes and other ignition sources away from the
vehicle at all times.
•
In case of fire, never use water to fight flames caused by methanol or
methanol blended gasoline.This will cause the flames to spread instead of
extinguishing them.
•
Use a dry chemical extinguisher to fight flames (preferably one marked
ABC, though BC is acceptable). A foam extinguisher is acceptable only if it
is ARF grade, which is resistant to alcohol.
