WATCH | Bike Catches Fire At Petrol Pump After Man Refills It To Full Tank

Getting his bike refuelled to a full tank turned out to be a dangerous experience for a man in Tamil Nadu.

A biker in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu had a harrowing experience after seeing his bike engulf in flames after refuelling. The entire incident, captured on CCTV, shows the man seated on his bike as he fills petrol and then pays the money. The moment he starts his bike, it catches fire, burning the man too. Taken aback by the blaze, the man falls off his bike as staff at the petrol pump rush to his aid.

The man sustained burn injuries, and was later taken to the hospital.

Reports suggest that the petrol from the fuel tank leaked after the man got it filled to its maximum capacity. This could have caused the fire. However, police are investigating the matter.
