An incident that would have blown me up

I want to share the incident that happened on 14/3/2007 . I gave my bike for service at Bangalore by afternoon . It was the first time I was giving my bike in Bangalore for service .
Vehicle has crossed its service mark. The delivery time was 17.30 pm. I reached there at 17.00 hrs . Then they told that there will be delay in delivery since there was no power. Then after two hours wait I got the vehicle with replacements and service. It was the last vehicle delivered that day. I paid the amount. On return I turned the bikes petrol meter to its reserve position. Then some water came. I was in middle of heavy traffic. Then vehicle started to show missing i thought problem with the control . so i turned it to opposite position.
But then the liquid started flowing very easily. Then I got real doubt. It was Petrol. The water like item was petrol. I had run the vehicle some half kilometer. On the road petrol was pouring on. I thought I would be blown up if somebody have lit some ciggaratte.Petrol fall directly onto the engine itself. The connection between the filter and engine was cut off. The mechanic who done this job forget to do that and by GOD s Grace I am alive
So Check your vehicle before you leave the service center, Especially your brake and engine connections
