Filling a car with fuel is one of the most common procedures for any driver. In order to avoid accidents and unpleasant situations, it is important to follow a few simple rules at the gas station.
First of all, it is important to take a responsible approach to the choice of a gas station. Service is also important, and territorial location, and, most importantly, the quality of fuel, as cases of fraud at gas stations.
Movement rules.It is necessary to move around the territory of the gas station according to the traffic scheme, which is located at the entrance. Observe the requirements of road signs, index and warning signs. On the territory of the gas station, traffic is one-way, the speed of movement is no more than 5 km / h. Drive up to the fuel pumps on the side where your car has a tank! And don't forget to turn off the engine.
If gasoline is spilled. If it gets on a car, it should be wiped dry as soon as possible. If on the ground - inform the employees, they are obliged to sprinkle the puddle with sand and sweep it into a separate box.
Be careful not to be deceived. Unfortunately, at almost all gas stations (even with computerized equipment) there is an underfill. Usually this "function" is disabled if the client fills up a full tank or cans. There may be several ways. Be sure to look at the hose - loops and kinks on the hose itself lead to the fact that after each refueling, about a liter of fuel remains in it.
Pierce the hose. In this case, it begins to suck in air, as a result of which up to 200 ml of gasoline can remain in it. If the car is fueled by a special employee, then while you are taking the change, he is in collusion with the operator Gas station - can start refueling the car not from zero liters, but immediately from 3-5 liters, it all depends on greed operator. Therefore, be vigilant!
Gas filling station.Before starting the refueling process, it is better to ask passengers to leave the car. It is necessary to check that the access of gas to the filling device is unhindered and to make sure that the cylinder does not have any damage. It is better to entrust the process to qualified workers. Be sure to check if gas smell in the vehicle, because it's unsafe.
This is dangerous:
• refuel the car during a thunderstorm
• smoking at the gas station
• pour fuel into a container that is not intended for this
• leaving children alone in a closed car
• let kids play with fire.
