Why should any petroleum products be handled with care?

First of all, safety rules must always be followed and no matter what you are dealing with. After all, petroleum products are much safer than those very substances of the chemical industry, for example, mercury salts. But petroleum products have one special quality – they are highly flammable, which can play a cruel joke on those who decide to smoke near the gas station. Thus, it is worth avoiding the occurrence of hot spots near petroleum products.
