Do You Need to Get Out of the Car When Refueling?
1 Answers
According to national regulations, both the driver and passengers must exit the vehicle and wait while refueling. Here are the relevant details: Turn Off the Engine When Refueling: It is mandatory to turn off the engine during refueling because when the engine is running, the vehicle's electrical circuits and systems are powered, creating current flow. If a short circuit or electrical leakage occurs at this time, it can easily lead to a fire. Precautions: Avoid refueling during thunderstorms. Gasoline is highly flammable and volatile, and during refueling, it disperses into the air. The newly added gasoline also evaporates, increasing the concentration of oil vapor in the surrounding air of the refueling vehicle.
