Something not right about this story. How did they know it was fuel leaking, the poster said they immediately told him it was leaking petrol. how could they deduce that from another car and in the dark. It could have been leaking brake fluid, leaking coolant, leak from the radiator etc.

Also why was there no fire extinguisher in your car, surely you failed your last vehicle inspection without it?

Sounds like a bit of propaganda going on here. Nice try but no cigar...
