SAFETY WITH PETROL
With the object of preventing fires in connection with the filling of petrol tanks from pumps, the French Ministry of the Interior has recently issued a notice prohibiting the transfer of petrol from pumps to motor vehicles on public thoroughfares in the vicinity of an open flame or combustible material, or when the engines of motor vehicles are running. Only electricity can be used for the lighting of petrol pumps, and no smoking must be permitted in their vicinity.
It is also illegal for any person carrying an open flame or anything in a state of ignition or combustion to walk or stand near a pump.
