Some people say that you can't refuel in thunderstorm weather. Why on earth?

During this period, there were many days of heavy rain and hail in various provinces of China. From north to south, thunderstorms will occur intermittently in many areas, whether in broad daylight or at night. In addition to avoiding the sudden flooding of cars with water, we should also pay attention to the problem of being struck by lightning in stormy days.

During this time, many car buyers have clearly raised questions on the WeChat mobile phone of the car master, and fully considered the security risks. On a stormy day, it is usually not easy for you to refuel at the gas station. Some car buyers may argue that I still give oil in my room on stormy days, but I haven't heard that oil is not allowed on stormy days. Then the question is, can you give oil in a stormy day? The following car master will explain it to you. Can you give oil on a stormy day? The answer is: no!

The reason is that in the case of thunderstorm weather, gas will fill the air with a lot of free electrons after lightning. If you refuel the car when it is struck by lightning, it is very easy for the refueling gun to introduce stray and scattered current into the car fuel tank, causing a fire accident. Flammable oil vapor is very easy to diffuse into the surrounding air. If struck by lightning, both cars and oil storage tanks will explode. The statement given by the staff of the gas filling station is also that the equipment of the gas filling station is operated by induction electrification, and it is very easy to conduct electricity when lightning strikes, resulting in gas explosion. Although every gas station has lightning protection equipment, the lightning protection station will also remind everyone not to give oil when there is lightning strike. So whether it's diesel or gasoline, the size of the gas station doesn't matter. If lightning strikes near the gas station, the desktop computer host of the gas station will shut down and not give oil. For some gas stations to refuel car buyers in stormy days without authorization, it is indeed a violation of regulations to conduct exploration, which is very unsafe.

Suggestions from authoritative lightning protection experts: Gas filling stations are inflammable and explosive places, and lightning protection equipment should be tested twice a year on time according to regulations. If the gas filling station is struck by lightning, the adverse effects will be very serious because the underground is related to the petrochemical plant. Therefore, it is suggested that car buyers and gas stations should try to reduce fuel supply in stormy days. If your car is out of gas, don't refuel it until the storm has passed.
