Not from NGV tank...what a relief

Blast scene


I just read something that relief me from imagining terrifying thing happens to me while refueling.

The blast in NGV Refuelling station in Jln Jambu Jerteh, Jinjang was not linked to compressed gas in the tank.

It was an oxy-acetylene gas tank kept in the boot of a Mercedes-Benz that exploded at a Petronas petrol station here on Thursday and not the car’s NGV cylinder, a Petronas Dagangan Berhad statement said yesterday.

The statement said the NGV cylinder was found intact.

“Based on our initial investigation and as reported by the customer, the probable source of the explosion was from a gas cylinder used for welding (normally containing oxy-acetylene gas) kept in the boot of the customer’s car, and not the NGV tank as reported,” it said.

However, please remind the existing rules: No hand phones, smoking and cut off that engines...

In addition to that, no flammable items in the boot such as cooking gas tank, wielding gas or petrol in a container.
