Can you jump-start a car at a gas station?
1 Answers
Jump-starting a car is not allowed at gas stations. Reasons: Gas stations must control the occurrence of electrostatic discharge from design, construction to acceptance to avoid ignition and explosion caused by static electricity. Efforts should be made to eliminate the generation of electrostatic charges. Conduct or neutralize the generated charges, and never allow them to accumulate into a high electric field, avoiding the formation of electrostatic concentration and discharge gaps. Control the concentration of explosive gas mixtures to prevent the simultaneous presence of discharge and gas mixtures at suitable concentrations. Regulations: The selection, installation, and use of electrical equipment in gas stations must comply with relevant electrical safety regulations. Inspect electrical equipment, and replace all non-explosion-proof equipment with explosion-proof ones. The lighting circuits of street lamps and light boxes should be replaced with underground cables.
