You need the right mixture and compression and a decent spark or flame.. this is a Porsche board, y'all should know that.

I used to know a petroleum engineer who said there were 3 certainties in life, death, taxes and ignition sources.

Doesn't the ingoing fuel push air and vapor out of the tank being filled? May be more risky that you think

In the case of THAT pic, yes. That's an old pic or nozzle w/o controls.

Most areas have a vapor recovery nozzle that lessens the risk of inhalation and smog causing pollutants. The fire issue is lessened but not as a principal design issue.
