Gong said the oil pipe in his vehicle was once broken and caused the petrol leak, but he did not repair it properly. The fire was confirmed to be caused by the petrol leak.

8月20日，重庆渝北加油站内一辆面包车突然着火，火势迅速蔓延，司机连开车门的时间都没有，只得奋力从车窗钻出。加油站员工立即用灭火器遏止火势，随后消防队赶到彻底排除险情。据了解，面包车自燃疑是油管破裂漏油引起，司机逃跑及时无大碍。如果不是司机的灵巧身手，如果不是加油员灭火的快、准、狠，后果真的不堪设想！
监控显示：8月20日上午9点13分，渝北区回兴街道一加油站内，一辆刚刚加完油缓缓驶离的面包车底盘突然窜起火花，短短几秒间，火势迅速从车底蔓延至整个车身，情急之下，驾驶员迅速从副驾驶窗户逃出。
此时正值加油高峰期，加油站内有近二十辆车正在排队加油，加上高温天气，火势一旦蔓延，情况十分危险。加油站工作人员迅速行动，一边拨打119消防救援电话，一边利用灭火器对起火车辆进行处置，成功将明火控制住。
消防到场后，经过5分钟的紧急处置，在确定没有危险的情况下，救援人员将车辆向后移，将漏出的汽油用沙土掩埋后进行清理，确保加油站内情况稳定。
事后，渝北消防支队联系了起火车辆驾驶员龚某，该驾驶员称，事发当天车辆在行驶途中曾发生过油管破裂漏油的问题，但因心存侥幸心理，驾驶员对油管进行了简单的处置后，便没有在意，才导致当天在加油站加完油启动车辆离开时火灾的发生。
