Safety: 

• Carry the stove and fuel separation from all of your other camping gear so it doesn't ruin anything
• Screw things on tightly and listen and smell for leaks
• When cooking cook away from trees and dry brush. Cook in an open area
• Label fuel cans so they are not confused with water bottles
• Wait for the stove to cool down before packing it up
