Why do petrol tankers which run on the highways have metal chains attached that drag along the road?
The chain is supposed to get rid of any static electricity that builds up within the vehicle by directing it from the frame and tanks and into the ground or road. Preventing the buildup of static electricity will prevent the possibility of a spark occurring if somebody happens to touch the unit. We all know that gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are explosive, and the spark could provide an ignition source.

Why is LPG cracked to produce petrol?
LPG is cracked to produce petrol because it contains hydrocarbons with shorter carbon chains that are more suitable for producing petrol. During the cracking process, the longer hydrocarbon chains in LPG are broken down into smaller molecules, including those that make up petrol. This conversion allows for a more efficient use of the raw material and helps meet the demand for petrol production.
