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:
- Dispense fuel only into approved containers.
- 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.
- Bring the fill nozzle in contact with the inside of the fill opening
before operating the nozzle. Maintain contact until filling is complete.
- Keep sparks, flames, and smoking materials away from fuel.
- Do not use electronic devices while pumping fuel.
If the vehicle has a diesel engine, see the Duramax diesel supplement.
