Fire Hazards
• Never store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
propane, kerosene, and other flammable liquids should be
stored outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass
safety containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning
appliance, such as a natural gas water heater in a garage.
• Before refueling the generator, turn it off and let it cool
down. Gasoline spilled on hot engine parts could ignite

In response to this post@ai6yr This isn't often mentioned. Glad you did. A guy near us refueled his hot generator. Gasoline was stored outside but next to his foundation near where the generator was. Refueled. Ignited the house, burning it down. Killed him, his wife and their dog. Scared me forever.
