Get as far away from the vehicle as possible.
Dial 999 or 112 and call the Fire Brigade.

Warn on-coming traffic without placing yourself in any danger.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.

Check your vehicle at regular intervals.
Never use heat, naked flames or welding equipment near fuel tanks or fuel feed pipes.
Report any abandoned cars to the police.
