A public interest announcement apparently made by the Indian Oil Corporation is viral in different languages on various social media platforms. The said announcement warns vehicle owners and users against filling the fuel tanks of their cars to the maximum limit since the temperature might increase in the coming days and a full tank poses a risk of explosion.<\/p>\n

Many social media users have shared this apparent public interest notice on WhatsApp, Twitter, Facebook, etc., in order to make others aware of the above message and are thanking Indian Oil for sharing the same. Below is an example of a Facebook post made by a user in Bengali which has been shared 123 times. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It says, “INDIAN OIL WARNS: The temperature is set to rise in the coming days, so do not fill petrol in your vehicle to the maximum limit. This can cause an explosion in the fuel tank. Please fill half the tank of fuel in your vehicle and keep room for air. This week five explosions have been caused due to filling of maximum petrol. Please open the petrol tank once a day and let the gas build up inside come out. Note: Send this message to your family members and everyone else, so that people can avoid this accident. Thank you”<\/p>\n
