for information please

The cause is a spark, between 2 points. Even a .00002V and .0001 amp or less creates a spark, which is sufficient to ignite any inflammable vapour.

That is why it cautioned that in case u smell gas, do not switch on any switch , including ur mobiles

All petrol stations in INDIA display a board, not switch off mobiles or not to use it. as good citizens, we do not bother to understand the implications, and someone pays for it

The sparks from a switch in the house are visible, but that of a mobile are so tiny only a microscope can make it visible

 

  WARNING FROM SHELL OIL COMPANY

Please send this information to ALL your family &
friends, especially those who have kids in the 
car with them while pumping gas. If this were to 
happen, they may not be able to get the children 
out in time 
  
MUST READ, EVEN IF YOU DON'T OWN A CAR. 
Shell Oil Comments - A MUST READ! 
Safety Alert!

Here are some reasons why we don't 
allow cell phones in operating areas, propylene 
oxide handling and storage area, propane, gas 
and diesel refueling areas.. 
  
The Shell Oil Company recently issued a warning after
three incidents in which mobile phones (cell 
phones) ignited fumes during fueling operations 
  
In the first case, the phone was placed on the car's trunk lid during
fueling; it rang and the ensuing fire destroyed 
the car and the gasoline pump.. 
  
In the second, an individual suffered
severe burns to their face when fumes ignited as 
they answered a call while refueling their car! 
  

And in the third, an individual suffered burns to the thigh and groin
as fumes ignited when the phone, which was in 
their pocket, rang while they were fueling their car. 
  
You should know that: Mobile Phones can ignite fuel or fumes 
  
Mobile phones that light up when switched on or when they ring
release enough energy to provide a spark for ignition 
  
Mobile phones should not be used in filling stations, or when fueling lawn
mowers, boat, etc. 
  
Mobile phones should not be used, or should be turned off, around
other materials that generate flammable or explosive fumes or dust, (I.e.., solvents, chemicals, gases, grain dust, etc...) 
  
TO sum it up, here are the Four Rules for Safe Refueling: 
  
1) Turn off engine
2) Don't smoke
3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the
vehicle or turn it off 
4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fueling. 
  
Bob Renkes of Petroleum Equipment Institute is
working on a campaign to try and make people 
aware of fires as a result of 'static 
electricity' at gas pumps. His company has 
researched 150 cases of these fires. 
  
His results were very surprising: 
  
1) Out of 150 cases, almost all of them were women. 
  

2) Almost all cases involved the person 
getting back in their vehicle while the nozzle 
was still pumping gas. When finished, they went 
back to pull the nozzle out and the fire 
started, as a result of a static spark from their bodies from sliding out of the vehicle . 
  
3) Most had on rubber-soled shoes. 
  
4) Most men never get back in their vehicle until completely
finished. This is why they are seldom involved 
in these types of fires. 
  
5) Don't ever use cell phones when pumping gas 
  
6) It is the vapors that come out of the gas that
cause the fire, when connected with static charges. 
  
7) There were 29 fires where the vehicle was re-entered and the nozzle was
touched during refueling from a variety of makes 
and models.. Some resulted in extensive damage to 
the vehicle, to the station, and to the customer. 
  
8) Seventeen fires occurred before, during or immediately after the gas cap
was removed and before fueling began. 
  
Mr.. Renkes stresses to NEVER get back into your
vehicle while filling it with gas. 
If you absolutely HAVE to get in your vehicle while the 
gas is pumping, make sure you get out, close the 
door TOUCHING THE METAL, before you ever pull 
the nozzle out. This way the static from your 
body will be discharged before you ever remove 
the nozzle. 
  
As I mentioned earlier, The
Petroleum Equipment Institute, along with 
several other companies now, are really trying 
to make the public aware of this danger. 
  
I ask you to please send this
information to ALL your family and friends, 
especially those who have kids in the car with 
them while pumping gas. If this were to happen 
to them, they may not be able to get the 
children out in time.

Thanks for passing this along.
