When driving along in your Renault clio you sometimes get a smell of petrol what could it be?
The Lambda Sensor could be telling the engine to make the petrol mixture too rich leading to unburnt fuel coming out of your exhaust. Funnily enough, it could be your catalytic converter too (if it smells a bit eggy).
Why is a petrol tanker sometimes connected to the ground by means of a wire before petrol in unloaded?
Because even if there's a slight static charge in the tanker, it could ignite the petrol and explode. If it's connected to the ground by a wire, then all the static charge in the truck is removed (ie grounding the truck).
How could a motorcycle explode?
The petrol holder could leak and a spark could ignite it. The hot exhaust pipe could also cause petrol to ignite.

Why won't my mower start?
There are several reasons why your mower will not start. There could be an obstruction in the blade, a petrol mower could be low on petrol or the fuse could have blown in an electric mower.
Can you put petrol in while the car is running?
I'm assuming you are asking theoretically and so I won't ask "and why would you want to do that?" ! Safety regulations ask you to switch off the engine, even the lights and your cell phone. Why? Because of the risk of explosions. Petrol vapour is very heavy - we all know how difficult it is to get out of the car if the windows and door were open while filling up. There is a chance that all those electric things we just mentioned could cause a spark, albeit a small one, and that in the presence of petrol vapour and oxygen in the air could cause a huge explosion. I've see petrol (gas) stations on fire and it is no fun at all. They go to tremendous lengths to avoid the possibility of static electricity sparks in the hoses and canules of petrol stations but sometimes it happens - I sometimes create a spark when I touch the car and wonder how dangerous it is for me to fill up sometimes.

What does the color petrol blue look like?
Petrol blue looks similar to a grayish-teal blue. Since petrol is gas, this shade could be thought of the result of a blue mixed with the grey-black petrol.
My Vauxhall Zafira squeaks sometimes when I'm driving. It's like a hanger being pulled along the shelf in a shop. What could it be?
It could be many things. I would guess a partially seized rear brake calliper. But the likely hood of being correct is 10%. Like I said, many many possible causes.
Shorthand for unburnt petrol?
There really is no shorthand for unburnt petrol. However, if it must be abbreviated, it could be written as "unbnt. pet.".
