Not to Fill the Fuel Tank Full
Qatar defence ministry has advised all vehicle owners not to fill the fuel tanks full, cause the next few weeks the temperatures will shoot up to 53-54 degrees Celsius and this can cause the fuel tanks to burst.
Please pass this message on as all of us here are habitual of filling our vehicles fuel tanks full.

Source? ...What is the source ? Why would Defence Ministry advise on these issues?
I dont see any forecast of 53-54 Degrees !!!

lunituna said
I don't understand. ...When the tank is full, there is no space for evaporation and the fuel remain as liquid.
When there is space in the tank, the fuel evaporates and the vapor creates a pressure inside the tank. When the temperature goes up, the pressure increases as the gas is expanding faster than the liquid. (you may have experienced a gas exhaust when opening the lid of an empty tank). The pressure can do two things. Wither it can increase and force the tank to blast or when the tank is opened, it can exhaust fuel vapor that can be ignited by the heated air.
What I feel is danger is higher in an empty tank rather than a full tank.
For your thoughts

Source ...Basically Our compnay recieved a memo from Civil Defence and they issued us Precausion note....
I did not post here to prove this or to get any benefit. I just shared to alert you, if you don't like please fill your tank full and also take some extra fuel in cane as well..
I think the people who did not like my sharing, might be happy now :)

This is a rumor
kiwiinqatar123 said
"Qatar defence ministry has ..."Qatar defence ministry has advised ..." Where is your source? This does not make sense. A tank of gas that is 1/10 full will vaporize into gas form and produce pressure in the fuel tank. On a hot day of 54 (can't see this happening any time soon) the tank may bulge but will not explode! A full tank remains in a liquid state as there is no space for vapor. Jeeez.

Aftab, and how come only your company has received this personal Precaution note from the Civil Defense?.. why Civil Defense hasn't issued such a note to our company? They don't like us and don't mind our cars to explode?

mozai- ...it is common sense not to light a match anywhere near fuel. Duh! The fumes will set it off. Some people are too stupid for words.

Moral of the story-- ...Never fill your tank when there is a full moon! Again-some people are too stupid for words.

OK so now I understand ...it was in jest--forgive me as I have not slept since the fire--the picture of those sweet triplets keep me awake.
