I've seen one. Had nothing to do with gasoline. Had it on a wall
recharger overnight. In the middle of the night I heard a bang, and
came to find (afte searching the house) that the battery had exploded
with the force of a small firecracker.

Just curious, was this the stock battery on the cellphone or an
aftermarket one?
