DANGER !!! > Reminder to hold the petrol nozzle at all times.   Always hold onto the nozzle like I did. A friend stopped for petrol at the Petrol Station (the one) at the Lingkaran  Highway near Gombak)  a little over two weeks ago.     This was  the first time he patronized a station. As his normal  practice elsewhere, he put the nozzle on automatic and  stood nearby waiting for his car to be filled up. Suddenly  the nozzle flew out of the gas tank opening with petrol  spewing out at high speed. He was sprayed with petrol all over, including his face and eyes (just imagine the pain in his eyes). His companion  quickly brought him to toilet to wash his face. After that they reported the incident to the staff and asked to speak  to the manager. The manager refused to see them. He only  instructed the staff to take our friend to the hospital. According to the staff that was not the first time the nozzle came out of the tank while customers are filling up petrol. But our friend's incident was the worst. The top layer of his right eye was damaged and the area around his eye burnt. His eye had to be bandaged for 10  days. He was not so lucky his eyesight was badly affected and became blind. Apparently the nozzle was lighter than  normal and the speed of the petrol created a backward thrust that pushed the nozzle out of the tank. So please be careful.
