finished filling up the gas and left in a hurry, but forgot to close the fuel tank cap. As a car enthusiast, have you ever had a similar experience? In fact, if the fuel tank cap is not closed and you continue to drive, there will be great safety risks. On December 7, Zheng Yuwei, the bus captain of Zhengzhou Bus 199, met such a car owner and helped him eliminate potential safety hazards in time.
It is understood that at 8:15 on December 7th, Zheng Yuwei, the driver of Zhengzhou Bus 199, drove a vehicle near Wenzhi Road and found that the fuel tank cap of a private car was not closed, and the owner did not seem to realize it.
Zheng Yuwei didn't think much about it. Under the premise of ensuring safety, he drove the vehicle over the private car. In the process of overtaking, Zheng Yuwei kept honking his horn indirectly.
At this time, maybe the private car owner heard Zheng Yuwei's horn, and he might have noticed something, so he slowed down and stopped the car.
At this time, Zheng Yuwei unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and informed the private car owner that the fuel tank cap was not closed, and reminded that it was dangerous.
At this time, the driver of the private car got out of the car and saw that the fuel tank cap was not closed. He kept thanking Zheng Yuwei: "Oh, I was too anxious to go to work, I didn't see it, thank you..." After
, the private car driver quickly closed the fuel tank cap .
Zheng Yuwei drove the vehicle to leave, and the driver opened the trunk again. What happened to
? Zheng Yuwei walked forward slowly.
As a result, the driver hurried after Zheng Yuwei and handed a bottle of water.
"There is nothing in the car, please give you a bottle of water, thank you, sir, a good man will live a safe life." said the private car driver.
According to Zheng Yuwei, if the fuel tank cap is not covered, the greatest potential safety hazard is, the least is the spilling of the oil, the more serious it may cause car damage. Therefore, it is still necessary to remind the majority of car owners not to worry after refueling the car, and to be on the safe side. In many private cars nowadays, if the fuel tank cap is not covered, the dashboard in the car will also light up the indicator light to remind you. In short, more inspection of the vehicle will be more safe.
Safety Tips: Forgetting to close the fuel tank cap is likely to cause the following hazards:
First, if the fuel tank cap is open, once sparks generated from the outside fall into the fuel tank, it is likely to catch fire.
Second, forget to close the fuel tank cap. If it rains, rainwater can easily enter the fuel tank, causing water to enter the engine.
So when you refuel, you must check whether the fuel tank cap is properly covered. If you are refueling at a gas station, don’t neglect the inspection.
The head of a gas station in Zhengzhou City reminded Song that in accordance with the operating procedure, the fueler should screw the fuel cap for the car owner after filling up the fuel, but the staff may also be negligent.
In short, remind everyone that gasoline is volatile, and it is easy to be dangerous when encountering open flames. After refueling, be sure to check whether the fuel tank cap is properly covered to avoid accidents.
