'Storing Fuel At Home Dangerous'

This has resulted in the Minister of Minerals Resources and Green Technology, Lefoko Moagi warning against the risks involved when one stores fuel at home.  For the past few days consumers have been flocking filling stations with jerry cans and causing havoc at the pumps in the process.  As a result, Moagi has pleaded with motorists to avoid storing fuel at home stating that it is highly flammable and its pressure changes as the temperature fluctuates.

He said if not stored properly petrol can cause fires and explosions. Moagi said if the containers are not properly sealed fuel may produce fumes, which may be harmful to humans.
