Adnoc denies warning UAE motorists of fire hazard



ABU DHABI // Adnoc has denied warning motorists that filling up their vehicles’ fuel tanks during summer is dangerous.

“Adnoc wishes to confirm that a statement on social media platforms attributed to the company on the dangers of fuelling car tanks to maximum capacity in summer months has not been issued by us,” the company said.

“The statement implies that doing so could potentially result in fire/explosion hazards in summer.”

Car fuel tanks are designed to withstand pressure build-up in high temperatures, the company added.
