The content warns people about possible vehicle explosion in case they choose to fill the fuel tanks to the maximum possible limit in summer and directs them to open the fuel tank once during the day to 'let the gas escape'.

The advisory, made to appear as if it is from Indian Oil, is a fake. The claims made in the advisory are baseless. Indian Oil, on June 10, 2018, tweeted clarifying that the company did not issue any such advisory.
