Static elec. is the #1 cause of gas station fires. While it is discharged safely when you grab the pump because it is grounded and their is very little if any vapors present. If you build up a charge after the nozzle is in the tank neck it can start a fire with many vapors present. The reason it does this even with the grounding wire in the fuel hose is it sparks to the car before you ever touch the nozzle. Vapor recovery nozzles seem to cut down on this by removing most vapors but is not proven. Think what you want but cell phones have been proven to start gas fires. While it is on store video tape it could be put off as blamed on cell phone but just static elec. But on the other hand their has been documented cases of a cell phone ringing and a fire starting just as the phone was answered in oil refineries.
