Things to note when refueling at a gas station

It’s okay if you have a friend in the car with you when you refuel. If you drive alone to refuel, you have to go to the business hall to check out. When you leave the vehicle, you should take your valuables with you and close the windows, if possible. Lock your car to prevent items from being lost in your car. Below are the things I have collected for you to pay attention to when refueling at gas stations. I hope it will be helpful to you. Things you need to pay attention to when refueling at gas stations 1

1. No smoking

Strictly no fireworks, this is a reminder that can be seen everywhere at gas stations. For many friends who have the habit of stopping for a cigarette , this habit must not be brought to the gas station. Because the concentration of gasoline per unit space will increase when refueling, open flames may ignite the gasoline.

2. No phone calls

Usually gas stations will post notices prohibiting the use of mobile phones in prominent locations. Occasionally, when encountering some car owners using mobile phones at gas stations, the staff will also Stop it immediately.

3. Turn off the car when refueling

We must turn off the car when refueling. I believe most car owners know that every time we drive into a gas station, the staff will also remind us to turn off the vehicle. . However, in some self-service gas stations or small gas stations, and even in some other countries, we have indeed seen situations where the car cannot be refueled without refueling. Although there is no problem, our gas stations will still require the car to be refueled. We learned from professionals that during the operation of the vehicle, the flow of intake and exhaust gases, as well as slight aging on the lines, will produce static electricity and even sparks. Especially in humid weather, the concentration of gasoline increases, and the presence of sparks ignites and detonates the gasoline. danger.

4. Don’t slap chemical fiber clothes

The biggest fear at gas stations is open flames and static electricity. Chemical fiber clothes are prone to static electricity, so don’t get out of the car and slap them when refueling to avoid generating static electricity. causing danger.

Qualifications you should have when driving at a gas station

In addition to safety aspects, gas stations, as public places, also have many things to pay attention to. Driving rules, let’s talk about them below.

1. Remember the location of the fuel port.

Generally, the fuel tank port of a family car is usually located above the rear wheels on both sides, some on the left and some on the right. Car owners should remember the direction of their fuel tank caps, park the car in the corresponding position when refueling, and try to keep the oil nozzle facing the refueling port to avoid incorrect positioning of the refueling port, insufficient length of the oil nozzle, and delays in moving the car back and forth.

Here is a little tip to share with you. In many car models, there will be a small arrow where the fuel gauge is displayed on the instrument panel. Whichever direction the arrow points to, our fuel tank opening is on that side. Of course, not all models have arrows, this method is just for reference.

2. Try not to block the entire aisle

Generally, the space inside the gas station is relatively crowded, but two cars can still be parked side by side between the two rows of gas pumps. You are required here. Under the premise of ensuring safety, car owners should park as close to the gas pump as possible to avoid blocking two lanes with one car and avoid affecting others.

3. If possible, move the car before issuing a ticket during the peak refueling period.

During the peak hours of commuting, not only will the road be congested, but the gas station will also be congested. In fact, everyone can understand that there are many cars, but we are afraid of those who are not in a hurry to fill up the tank. Some people wait in the house to swipe their cards to pay after filling up, and some sit in the car to check the receipt and record the fuel consumption. Many cars behind are helpless. All we can do is wait.

Here we suggest that for those who pay in cash, you can drive the car further forward after refueling, and then go to the business hall to collect the receipt when the vehicle behind you is refueling. If there are people traveling with you in the car, you can move the car yourself and let your friends in the car check out, so as to save everyone some time.

4. Be sure to close the windows to prevent theft

It’s okay if there are friends in the car when refueling. If you drive alone to refuel, you must go to the business hall to check out and wait until you leave the vehicle. , take valuables with you, close the car windows, and lock the car if possible to avoid losing items in the car.

5. Don’t drive in the wrong direction

In order to ensure orderly traffic in gas stations, generally gas stations will have clear entrances and exits.

However, due to many objective reasons, it is common to see car owners trying to drive in the opposite direction at some gas stations, which is very dangerous.

In most cases, car owners who have refueled are relatively relaxed. A car suddenly driving the wrong way will catch them off guard. In addition, the gas station is a special area, and any accident may lead to greater hidden dangers, so follow the instructions. Direct travel is necessary.

6. Pull the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling

If small scratches in daily life are nothing, at the gas station, any accident may cause serious danger, so it is recommended to stop and refuel. Turn on the handbrake to prevent the car from rolling and causing a collision, which may increase safety risks.

A few things to note

What you need to pay attention to when buying oil in bulk

For safety reasons, gas stations generally do not sell bulk oil to individuals, that is, He said he had to drive to refuel. But if the vehicle really breaks down on the road due to lack of oil, and the owner does not want to resort to rescue, then it is also allowed to buy oil with an oil drum in this case. But there are two prerequisites. First, for safety reasons, iron oil barrels must be used to pump oil. Iron oil barrels are currently sold in auto parts cities and other places, as well as at general gas stations. In addition, you need to issue relevant certificates from your workplace or neighborhood committee where you live, and you can come to buy gas with the certificate.

No refueling during thunder and lightning

In principle, gas stations are open 24 hours a day, but services may be suspended in some extreme weather conditions. For example, during severe thunder and lightning weather, gas stations will often close for safety reasons and reopen after the thunder and lightning is over. Therefore, it is recommended that car owners pay more attention to weather changes during the summer rainy season and adjust the refueling time in a timely manner.

There are requirements for motorcycle refueling

If you are refueling a motorcycle, you first need to have a license plate and carry a driving license, and complete the procedures before refueling.

The above are things that drivers must pay attention to when at or passing a gas station. Gas stations are indeed a place equivalent to replenishing nutrients for motor vehicles, but if they are not operated properly, they may cause irreparable trouble.
