    Actually looking at the pic you may be right

    I used to do recovery work and on my days off i'd drive my truck with my car on the back to drop off the truck.

    Also notice how the truck is diesel but he's pumping unleaded into the car :p

    Lol @ mobile phones bit - theres no scientific evidence that its dangerous. More danger of static from peoples clothes causing an explosion.

    I think the big danger from mobiles is the user.

    Many people seem to completely disengage their brain when they have the mobile to their ear/in their hands, I hate to think what would happen if many of the idiots I see with mobiles whilst they are walking would do if they were filling the car up at the same time.

    Indeed. What about the car it self. Have they never looked at a motor when its spinning. such as the starter motor.

    maybe there's a problem with the pump? the handle should click off when the fuel reaches near the top of the filler pipe
