Why Do You Need to Get Out of the Car When Refueling with Gas?
1 Answers
Reasons why all occupants must exit the vehicle during gas refueling: During refueling, the gas cylinder filling pressure undergoes a process from low to high, which poses potential hazards such as explosions or leaks. If occupants unconsciously use open flames or mobile phones, any natural gas leakage could trigger an accident. To prevent such incidents, all personnel must exit the vehicle during refueling. The natural gas used in vehicles is a high-pressure filled liquid gas. Since the human body carries static electricity, friction between clothing and seat covers can generate even more static electricity. In the event of a gas leak, the presence of open flames or static electricity while occupants remain in the vehicle would endanger everyone onboard. Additional precautions during gas refueling: Stand in the safety zone: Potential hazards like refueling gun explosions or disconnections may occur due to pressure issues or seal ring damage, so drivers and passengers must move to the safety zone. Open the trunk to inspect the gas cylinder for any safety risks. Turn off all electrical devices and the engine: This prevents sparks from static electricity or short circuits in the vehicle's electrical system that could cause explosions. Avoid placing flammable or explosive items on the dashboard. Always carry a small vehicle-mounted fire extinguisher in the car.
