-Gas containers should NEVER be brought inside: store and use outdoors only as gas is highly flammable, and gas fumes can ignite;
-NEVER refuel a running generator. It should be shut down and allowed to cool before refueling, as the hot surface can ignite the gas fumes;
-Use only approved containers – no more than 5 gallons;
-Use caution when transporting gas containers. If transporting in a vehicle, place sealed container on floor in back seat and keep windows open to vent any fumes;
-Do not smoke or use any item that can cause a spark anywhere near gasoline.
Then why are these people with the gas cans allowed to bring them onto full public MTA buses?? I was able to inhale the gas fumes. The driver did nothing and the bus was so packed I could not get over to the driver!! All we needed was one smart alec kid to throw a fire cracker Chas v’shalom!! This is dangerous!! They should not be allowed on public buses!!
Where are the 24 million gallons of fuel promised by FEMA?!
The Gov. said today that they are bringing in gas from out of state.
