Not smart: LPG refuelling if a car is not on LPG drive

But it is still common in…

Cars including the LPG-installation is expanded or detached, but still a filling opening with a connection for a hose on the outside. We guess that in the Netherlands there is quite a lot of cars that have this. Of course, no problem if it’s your own car, but it can be a bit problematic when you lend.

So also in Rotterdam last night. At the BP on the Tjalklaan (Street View) was a man with a borrowed car coolly LPG gas. What he didn’t know is that the connection was disconnected. According to RTV Rijnmond, because this was recently replaced. (On the photo is the presence of the gas tank still clear to see.)

Ergo: the interior filled up with gas. A blast kept happy (which is quite different). By the gas odour was the Tjalklaan as a precaution, more than three quarters of an hour ended. The fire department has the car then, for a time, with the doors open to let doorluchten, but decided ultimately not to the man his way to persecute. The car was afgesleept.
