Safety and filling jerry cans Static electricity can build up between the vehicle driver or passenger and the seat and you will often notice you will get a small electric shock as you touch something metal when exiting the vehicle. This is a static discharge. If the fuel nozzle is the first thing you touch a spark could ignite surrounding fuel vapours and cause a flash fire. Donât re-enter the vehicle to retrieve your wallet until after you have completed the fill as you could once again pick up static electricity. Refueling should not be done in confined areas and the vehicle or any operating machinery should be turned off. Don't smoke and keep mobile telephones or any likely source of ignition well away from the jerry can or fuel dispensing nozzle. Vapors from the fuel can ignite. Wait until you can empty the whole contents of the jerry can into your tank, and then after preferably leave the top open for as long as you can, in the sun, to encourage the vapours from the remainder to evaporate and allow the can to dry out. Allow the empty can to cool down, before replacing the lid and try to keep empty jerry cans out of direct sun and heat. When refilling the jerry can, refill it to the top. Air expands about three times as much as petrol, and a part full can will be at a risk of much higher pressure than a full can. Always open the jerry can with extreme caution holding the opening away from you when releasing the cap as fuel may spurt out. There is a higher risk of fire when the fuel can is in the back of a vehicle, ute or a trailer than on the ground. When filling a jerry can here is a general guide of some steps to follow:- - make sure you have cleaned the jerry can and removed any dirt inside before your go to the service station - switch off the vehicle engine - touch the metal on your car with your bare hand to discharge any static electricity - donât smoke, use your mobile phone or re-enter your vehicle - place the jerry can on the ground as this âearthsâ the container and reduces any friction - make sure you select correct fuel type - keep the filler nozzle in contact with the jerry can - fill the jerry can slowly to avoid static build up and fuel spillage - donât jam the refuelling trigger on the filler nozzle to keep it open - keep watch on the fuel level until the jerry can is full - place the filler nozzle back - fit the fuel cap back on the jerry can - wipe off any fuel spill on the container or ground and dispose of the paper or rag in a safe place More information is available on the Australian Government - Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government website under âDangerous Goodsâ.
