What is prohibited when refueling a car?
2 Answers
Prohibited actions when refueling a car: 1. No smoking: Gas stations are areas with dense fuel concentration, and any spark may ignite gasoline. Therefore, any fire-related activities are prohibited at gas stations. 2. No starting the car: The engine must be turned off while refueling at a gas station. If the vehicle is not turned off, even though the car body is not moving, the engine is still running at high speed. 3. No phone calls: Using a mobile phone can emit frequencies that may trigger an explosion at the fuel depot. Gasoline is a volatile and flammable hydrocarbon mixture liquid distilled or cracked from petroleum, mainly used as fuel for spark-ignited internal combustion engines.
There are many things you can't use while refueling, mainly to avoid danger. I always remember to turn off the engine before refueling my car, because if the engine is running, high-temperature components or exhaust pipe heat could ignite gasoline vapor, leading to an explosion. Never use your phone while chatting, as static electricity can produce sparks; smoking is strictly prohibited, as an open flame from a lighter can instantly ignite the air. I’ve also seen people taking videos with their phones or adding random additives, which are also not allowed. Gas station rules clearly state these prohibitions, and violating them can easily cause fires or even injuries. Every time I refuel, I turn off my phone and the engine, completing the process quickly. Safety is no small matter—developing good habits ensures peace of mind. Everyone should pay attention to warning signs and not be careless.
