What to Do If You Put the Wrong Fuel in a Car

The error is usually when a diesel-fueled car is filled with gasoline, or sometimes vice versa. If you have filled the wrong fuel, you don't need to worry, because there is still a solution. Leave your engine switched off and avoid putting your key in the ignition. Do not start the vehicle engine and immediately drain the fuel.

Your fuel tank needs to be drained before you drive the car. The petrol will act as a solvent, damaging the fuel pump and other parts of the fuel system. If left unchecked, this could mean a costly repair of your car's fuel system, or a complete replacement of the fuel pump, diesel injectors, filters and fuel tank.

How to Have a Super Productive Weekend

You probably spend your majority of your weekend, sitting or sleeping. That's why changing the types of activities you do on weekends can play a big role in both your level of happiness and productivity.Check out the following tips from Sahabat Insurance:

Try New Food Recipes
If you like cooking, this activity is really fun. Try new recipes that the whole family can do. Remember! you should never leave your stove unattended while in use. Think of your stove as an active cooking device. When in use, you should be actively tending to whatever it is you're cooking.

Repairing and cleaning the House
You can check and check the condition of the house, for example replacing a broken lamp, fixing a leaky roof or changing the color of your peeling wall paint, cleaning up piles of unused items. Cleaning the house is a trivial but very useful activity, your house is more comfortable to live in if it is clean and safe.

Make a Travel Journal
If you are an adventurer who is "on leave" traveling due to the pandemic, you can keep a journal of the trips you have done. You can make a vlog or post it on social media that might be useful for others. If you have photos, you can print them out and create your travel albums.

Fix the vehicle
Wash the car or just check the condition of the vehicle during the holidays. Check the oil or air pressure in the vehicle tires. Vehicles that have not been used for a long time and are parked in the garage for a long time can become damaged. Start the engine and clean the vehicle as a spare time filler.

The functions of the hazard lights

1. Use in an emergency
In accordance with the Law on Road Transport Traffic (LLAJ) Article 121 paragraph 1, every motorized vehicle driver is required to install a safety triangle, a hazard warning signal light, or other signals when stopping in an emergency situation on the road. For example, your vehicle stops due to an emergency during a breakdown, a traffic accident, or other conditions such as a tire that needs to be replaced. If you are in an emergency situation, then immediately pull over and press the hazard lights.
2. As a warning sign
The next function of the hazard light is as a warning sign. While driving on the road, there are times when you meet an emergency situation that can threaten your safety.
For example, your brakes don't work, or someone suddenly crosses the road, or other conditions that require you to stop suddenly in the middle of the road.
3. Not for Use in Bad Weather
A misunderstanding about the function of hazard lights is to use them in bad weather such as heavy rain or heavy fog.
Turning on the hazard lights when the weather is bad can actually endanger safety. This is because when the hazard light is active, the automatic turn signal cannot function. If you want to give a turn signal, the vehicles behind you will have a hard time understanding it.
4. Not a signal when entering the tunnel
Turning on the hazard lights when entering the tunnel should be avoided. The hazard light signal will actually confuse the driver of the motor vehicle behind you. When entering a dark tunnel or passage, simply turn on the main light or evening light to maintain visibility.
5. Not for convoys
There are still many car drivers who misinterpret the use of hazard lights. One of them is to use hazard lights during convoys or convoys.
It can be concluded that the actual hazard light function should only be used in an emergency, such as when an accident occurs or the car suddenly breaks down. Avoid turning on hazard lights without a clear situation because it can endanger safety.

Disaster mitigation is a series of efforts to reduce disaster risk, both through physical development as well as awareness and capacity building to deal with disaster threats (Article 1 paragraph 6 PP No 21 of 2008 concerning the Implementation of Disaster Management).

So what to do if there is a flood?

Secure important objects and documents, such as house certificates, birth certificates and so on
Turn off the gas and electricity in your home before the flood comes, do not touch electrically charged equipment when you are standing on/in the water.
When you decide to evacuate your house, be aware of undercurrents, drains, sewers, puddles, and other places that are inundated with water.
Do not drive a car in flooded areas. When the water starts to rise, ignore the car and get out. Immediately evacuate to higher ground.
Consider flood insurance for vehicles and homes due to flooding to avoid future losses.
