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.

NGV Explosion in Malaysia: Scary

What a blast...

It gives me a fright to think about it. Now, it happens in Malaysia, as reported in The Star:

KUALA LUMPUR: A man cheated death when an NGV gas cylinder in his car boot exploded at a petrol station in Jalan Jambu Jerteh, Jinjang here.

The 3.50pm incident occurred after the man in his 30s had just finished refuelling his Mercedes Benz at the petrol station.

Although the car did not catch fire, its rear was damaged.

It was learnt that the driver had been talking on his mobile phone immediately after pumping gas into the cylinder.

The explosion also caused damage to the petrol station and a taxi parked nearby.

Look at that unlucky taxi...

Health and safety aside; we all know that for sure, but for me sometimes , I refuelled without cutting of my engine to keep my wife in the car with a cool temperature while waiting for it.

Now, not anymore...

Very fast 3-wheeler...

If you think this 3-wheeler is not a very fast car by the look of it...then you are wrong.

This little car can go from 0 to 60 mph in 5 secs. On top of that, those things that associate with fast car which is not so green such as high fuel consumption and all that gas emission are reduced drastically.

It has low fuel consumption due to the fuelvapor technologies used in the engine. The regular gasoline is converted to gas before entering the combustion chamber. It has 30% less CO2 emission.

Check it out this weird looking car.

Dent remover.....unique technique

This is interesting. Remove that annoying car dent with a hair dryer and an air duster for computer (compressed carbon dioxide gas).

Simple and yet effective. That's what I like about it. I'll try that and let see what happens.
