Staying Safe At the Pump
Static electricity-related incidents at retail gasoline outlets are extremely unusual, but the potential for them to happen appears to be the highest during cool or cold and dry climate conditions. In rare circumstances, these static related incidents have resulted in a brief flash fire occurring at the fill point. Consumers can take steps to minimize these and other potential fueling hazards by following safe refueling procedures all year long. Dig Safely Around Utilities

Please call 811 or visit the " for information on a new national call-before-you-dig telephone number aimed at preventing damage to pipelines and other underground facilities nationwide.
