There are a lot of factors in play during refueling that are not with
fuel at rest. One is the static charge induced by merely moving the
fuel down the hose, the vapor produced by pumping and the possible
concentration to a good ignition mixture in an enclosed space.


And let's not forget the Dip**** Factor

Ah, one "episode" and the PC "safety nannies" decide that it's "unsafe" to
smoke around gas.

If it were unsafe people would be blown up doing it all the time.

Am I right?
