But the common sense of "safe refueling" in gas stations
How many do our car owner friends know?
For the safety of oneself and others
The following 9 dangerous items
Everyone in flammable and explosive areas like gas stations

Never do it

Fireproof and anti-static

1. Smoking is absolutely prohibited at gas stations. After entering the station, drivers and passengers, whether inside or outside the station, are not allowed to smoke. Due to the accumulation of a large number of combustible gas molecules near the gas station, even subtle sparks can cause fires or even explosions.
Through the analysis of 115 gas station accidents, it was found that there were 14 fire and explosion accidents caused by smoking, accounting for 12.2%. Research shows that the minimum ignition energy of gasoline is only 0.2 mJ, which is equivalent to the energy generated by a Pin falling from a height of 1 meter to the cement floor. Such a small ignition energy can be achieved by any small spark or invisible static electricity.
2. When entering the gas station for refueling, be sure to stop and turn off the engine, power, and engine. This not only ensures refueling safety and avoids accidents that can cause uncontrollable consequences during the refueling process, but also reduces pollutant emissions.
When the car is refueling at the gas station, if it does not stop, even though the body is not moving, the engine is still running at high speed. The working engine must be accompanied by current flow. If there is a short circuit or leakage in the circuit at this time, it is very dangerous.

When the phone is in normal standby mode, the internal current is only about 8-10mA. When answering or making calls, including the RF antenna, earpiece microphone, background light, etc., the internal current of the phone may increase to 2-2.5A, and electric sparks may be generated. When in contact with the dense flammable gas molecules at the gas station, it is easy to cause a fire or even explosion.

Not following the instructions of the refueling officer

4. Gas stations are generally built around main roads, and many drivers are accustomed to taking shortcuts to pass through the gas station when encountering road congestion. Gas stations are prohibited from driving in reverse. In order to ensure orderly driving inside the gas station, clear entrances and exits are generally set up. However, due to many objective reasons, some gas stations often see some car owners' pictures for convenient reverse entry, which seriously affects the normal order of the gas station and also brings safety hazards to the gas station.
5. Refueling is a dangerous technical job. Owners should never use a non dedicated self-service Gasoline pump. Please be patient when there are many owners waiting in line. Don't operate the Gasoline pump without authorization to avoid misoperation and accidents. When refueling, you should follow the instructions of the gas station staff, fill the fuel in a suitable refueling location, and do not move around on your own.

6. Motorcycles entering the station should be guided by staff to the designated location for refueling. Most motorcycle engines are exposed and have a high heat dissipation temperature. If any material drips onto the engine during refueling, it can easily cause a fire. Therefore, it is important to be very careful when refueling motorcycles.

7. When repairing a car at a gas station, high temperature engine components or leakage from the pressure system can cause a fire, especially some electrical short circuits. Additionally, collisions and friction between repair workers and repair components can also generate static electricity and sparks.
8. The tank is too full. Generally, the Gasoline pump will automatically jump the gun when the tank is full. When refueling, the fuel gun should be as deep as possible into the fuel tank opening, which can reduce the volatile gasoline vapor during the refueling process and reduce the risk of sparks from the source, in order to avoid the risk of fire. Many accidents at gas stations are caused by oil and gas leaks, touching high-temperature vehicle bodies, etc. Therefore, car owners must pay attention to this detail.
9. It is prohibited to use plastic containers to hold oil. When filling bulk oil at a gas station, iron containers should be used, as the flow and friction of oil in plastic barrels can generate static electricity, which is insulated and cannot be eliminated in a timely manner. When static electricity accumulates to a certain extent in the plastic bucket, it will react with oil vapor, which is very dangerous. When the static electricity is severe, it may even explode.
