Hold The Petrol Nozzle When Filling In Petrol ...
A reminder to hold the petrol nozzle at all times. You guys don't be lazy.
Always hold onto the nozzle like I did. My friend stopped for petrol at
the Projet Petrol Station (the one at the Lingkaran Tengah Highway near
Gombak) a little over two weeks ago.
This was the first time he patronized a Projet station. As his normal
practice elsewhere, he put the nozzle on automatic and stood nearby waiting
for his car to be filled up.
Suddenly the nozzle flew out of the gas tank opening with petrol spewing
out at high speed. He was sprayed with petrol all over, including his face
and eyes (just imagine the pain in his eyes). His companion quickly
brought him to he toilet to wash his face.
After that they reported the incident to the staff and asked to speak to
the manager. The manager refused to see them. He only instructed the
staff
to take my friend to the hospital.
According to the staff that was not the first time the nozzle Came out of
the tank while customers are filling up petrol. But my friend's incident
was the worst. The top layer of his right eye was damaged and the area
around his eye burnt.
His eye had to be bandaged for 10 days. He was lucky that his eyesight was
not affected.
Apparently the nozzle was lighter than normal and the speed of the petrol
created a backward thrust that pushed the nozzle out of the tank. So
please be careful.
