Shell Malaysia Trading managing director Shairan Huzani Husain, who is also known affectionately as Pak Cik Shell, is back with another public service announcement (PSA), this time focusing on the proper way to fill petrol into a container.
Recalling a past video, Pak Cik Shell explains that a container being filled with petrol can cause a charge of static electricity to be built up. This in turn can result in a spark igniting the vapour, resulting in a fire. It’s also important to note that you can’t just use any container to store petrol, as it needs to be specially-designed to carry fuel and comply with safety standards.
In his PSA, Pak Cik Shell demonstrates the proper way to fill petrol into a container, which involves using an approved container (a metal one in this case) along with a metal funnel and a bonding cable attached, the latter preventing static electricity from building up and causing a spark. You should also place the container outside the vehicle during filling to prevent exposure to static electricity that may have already built up inside the vehicle.
A recent viral incident where a couple was seen filling petrol into containers in the boot their car prompted Pak Cik Shell’s PSA. It’s important to note that filling a container with petrol is not illegal because current regulations allow Malaysians to purchase up to 20 litres of petrol without needing to bring a vehicle to the pump. Reasons for this could be to fuel up machinery like gensets or motorised lawn mowers/grass cutters.
However, individuals that purchase more than this amount, as said couple was caught doing, will need to apply for a special permit from the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN). So, if you’re planning to transport petrol home, do so safely as Pak Cik Shell demonstrates and within the legally allowed limit.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
this pakcik is teachnig smugglers how to sell fuel to nusantara/sulu/pattani/songkhla , becayse malaysia has the cheapest budi95 petrol in the world.
where got smugglers use small containers shown in the above photos? news reports say that authorities catch smugglers using much bigger containers, sometimes hidden in lorries or vans.
regardless of the container size, similar best practice and safe handling still applies .
You are sooo stupid..full of hatred. Go away
When I’m in the most stupid person competition but by opponent is pakcik brian.
According to law it is illegal to fill into container. So Shell is teaching people to do illegal thing.
Read properly first the above article, especially the 4th paragraph. You seem to be simply ignorant & unaware until you simple accuse an oil company for teaching people how to break the law. You must be still an immature child.
Is not illegal if 20L or less is ok. And need to do with proper container.
“Pak Cik Shell” illustrate that while using a metal funnel with a grounded cable is the ideal safe method, but is it a standard tool provided by the station for public use?
Are you actually being serius or just plain daft?
Satu lagi. Aku cukup risau orang selalu ketuk2 nozzle pump pd lid tangki setelah habis isi.Berbuat demikian ia juga boleh menyebabkan ‘spark’
