Chevrolet Silverado: Fuel / Filling a Portable Fuel Container
Warning
Never fill a portable fuel container while it is in the vehicle. Static
electricity discharge from the container can ignite the fuel vapor. You or others
could be badly burned and the vehicle could be damaged. To help avoid injury to
you and others:

- Do not fill a container while it is inside a vehicle, in a vehicle's
trunk, in a pickup bed, or on any surface other than the ground.

before operating the nozzle. Maintain contact until filling is complete.
