Safety tip!
I learned this when watching a saftey video about boats. It applys to cars
too.
When the fuel tank filler is above the open cockpit you and your passengers
should be outside the vehicle. Gas fumes are heavy and they will flow
directly into the car. Those fumes are not only flamable, but they are
also toxic. It would probably be a good idea to leave the door open too,
so those fumes can flow out of the car.
