    A MUST READ!
    Safety Alert!


    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.



    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 fuelling 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 Refuelling:
    1) Turn off engine
    2) Don't smoke
    3) Don't use your cell phone - leave it inside the vehicle or turn it 0ff
    4) Don't re-enter your vehicle during fuelling.
