Static Electricity Can Cause A Fire At Gas Stations But Can Cell Phones? by BlackPeni5: 7:02am On Aug 23, 2013 |
If you are in a filling station, avoid wearing silk clothing which generates a lot of static electricity. Also avoid touching the nozzle immediately after leaving your car unless you have discharged some of the static electricity by touching a surface that conducts electricity. (Thank God that in Naija we don't fill the gas ourselves). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tuZxFL9cGkI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MctxwqTLYjk The Myth that cell phones can cause fires at Gas stations was busted by the "Myth Busters" but another video which purports that cell phones can cause fires was posted on the web. Is this possible? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRcnGm97wEQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyYCu2K-NYQ |
