Don’t Get Caught in a Car Fire!
One of the reasons why fuel leaks are a major motor vehicle issue is because they affect fuel efficiency. Especially during these times when gasoline prices are soaring, you should be saving, not wasting, each drop.
However, fuel leaks pose a much more serious concern. Authorities have confirmed that they are the most common cause of vehicle fires.
Here are the top reasons why you should never ignore fuel leaks in your car:
1. Gas is flammable.
If gas is leaking from your vehicle, it can take very little to set it off because gas is flammable. Imagine encountering a discarded cigarette with a small ember or a single spark on the road. It could cause your car to go up in flames if the leak comes into contact with any of these things.
2. It can lead to more damage.
Fuel leaks are an indication that the tank has suffered some damage because of age or other circumstances like a car crash or hitting a deep pothole. It could get worse over time so have it replaced before it becomes even more of a fire hazard.
3. It is pretty easy to fix.
In some cases, fuel leaks are caused by minor punctures or holes in the gas tank. This is easy to fix and you don’t have to replace the whole tank. Take it to the mechanic before the damage gets worse and save yourself from more expensive repairs in the future.
4. Gasoline contains harmful chemicals.
Gasoline has carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous when inhaled. If you are exposed to this while driving, you are placing yourself in danger of nausea and headache, or getting in a road accident if you are not driving in the best physical condition.
