Petrol is a highly flammable liquid and any spillage will evaporate to form a flammable, heavier than air vapour which is easily ignited.
Common ignition sources include, but are not limited to, smoking and light matches, welding and cutting equipment, heaters, all types of
electrical equipment unless specifically designed as suitable for use in flammable atmosphere. Even low voltage inspection lamps, if
damaged can ignite petrol vapour
