THE BATTALION
Gulf Oil establishes endowed
Full gas tanks can
create fire hazard
With hot weather on the way,
car owners should not fill their
gasoline tanks brimfull, warns
A&M Fire Marshall Elwood F.
(Woody) Sevison.
Sevison said that the combina
tion of a full car tank and hot
weather can create a fire haz
ard. Hot weather causes the gas
oline to expand, Sevison explain
ed, and when this expansion oc
curs in a full tank enough pres
sure can build up to force gas
out through the tank cap.
Should someone happen along
and throw a match or a lit ci
garette into the spilled gas, a
severe fire could result, damag
ing not only the car with the
leaking tank but also cars or peo
ple around it, Sevison said.
By leaving the tank short by
one or two gallons, he said, the
problem can be avoided.
He added that recently he saw
a car that had sufficient pressure
built up to have gas spilling into
the storm sewers.
