A friend of mine was filling his car when a kid came over and told him "that stuff isn't flammable" as he lit a lighter at the filler neck. The kid ended up with severe burns for his trouble and the gas station owner was yelling at my friend for discharging the gas station fire extinguisher. That station is no onger in business. At least my friend had the presence of mind to pull the nozzle, close the fuel door flap, hit the emergency shut off and grab a fire extinguisher and put the fire out (including the kid). I guess the kid shoulda sued someone.
