WARNING The cleaning fluids and adhesives in the repair kit are flammable and toxic to the skin,  eyes,  and  respiratory  tract.    Skin  and  eye  protection  are  required.    Avoid prolonged breathing of vapors, and minimize skin contact.  Protective gloves and respirator masks are part of the repair kit (Items 7 and 13, Table 3-3).  Good general ventilation is normally adequate.  Keep away from excessive heat, open flames, or other sources of ignition.  Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using these chemicals. Do not use the Cleaner/Degreaser near aluminum fittings on the tank.  Contact of the  Cleaner/Degreaser  to  aluminum  can  cause  explosive  gases  to  form.    These gases can cause further damage to the tank or injury to personnel. NOTE Degreasing tank fabric can result in processing oils and waxes being drawn to the fabric surface.  This impairs adhesion of the Fluid Elastomer (adhesive) to the tank fabric.  Tank fabric should be test for compatibility with Cleaner/Degreaser. 5.
