Discharges to Water: Notes

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2023 Tesla Model 3, 2022 Tesla Model 3, 2021 Tesla Model 3, 2020 Tesla Model 3, and 2019 Tesla Model 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Oil, petrol/gasoline, solvent, acids, hydraulic oil, antifreeze, and other such substances should never be poured down a drain and every precaution must be taken to prevent spillage reaching drains.

Handling of such materials must take place well away from drains, and preferably in an area with a curb or wall around it to prevent discharge into a drain. If a spillage occurs, it should be soaked up immediately. Having a spill kit readily available will make this easier.
