A Perth man has suffered minor burns in a close call after his high-vis shirt came into contact with some fuel while he was working on a friend's car.

Caller Mick told Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings the car backfired through the carburetor, with some fuel landing his high-vis shirt and melting the safety strip on it.

He was wearing a singlet underneath the shirt but the strip was exposed to his body, and when he took the shirt off, his skin came off with it.

"I just want to warn people about the dangers of the shirt," he said.
