Hmmm...

Ignorance!

mechanics:
One of the safety rules in a filling station is not to receive calls and switch off all engines, that's why when people normally scoop fuel and the fuel explode, it must be as a result of a phone call, that's very dangerous, and even the pump attendant was not even security conscious, so unfortunate.

Hyicene:
its very possible it has appund to someone I know b4 datz y u must turn of yr phone in a filling station

Tonytonex:
STOP DISPLAYING UR FOOLISHNESS. don't wait till it happens to you before you learn. simple safety rules some people don't know. and will boldly come out to argue.

Ranchhoddas:
Please read the links and stop being a toad.

I am not surprised though as you cannot even differentiate "new" from "knew".

Maezara:
This is absolute bullshit. Your cell phone cannot cause fire at a gas station. It's nothing but an urban legend.

If it's true, one is left to wonder why it doesn't happen OFTEN since most people do not obey the warning signs at gas stations---they do not follow the instructions.

It's nothing but a myth. There's no scientific evidence to back it up.

RIP to the woman and all the others. My heart goes out to their family and friends. It's quite tragic.

Tonytonex:
you should be the one to do that.

Ranchhoddas:
This is the first I'm hearing of this.

Is there a science to this?

Spaxon:


Yes...

The radio waves the phone uses. And the gas are not friendly...

That's all I can tell sire

addizzle:

ipodstinks:
Are you this ignorance? Why do you think receiving call on site is prohibited.

zikter:
Quite sad. but this is totally avoidable. I am sure there will be enough safety signage prohibiting the use of phone in such a place. this should serve as a lesson to us all. do not use your phone at a petrol station, let alone a gas station.

bughead:
which heat!

Your body do produce heat also!

Your phones doesn't produce any spark that can ignite a fuel source

Keneking:
But where is lalasticlala sef

Arkyval:


Few months back , Discovery Channel broadcasted an experiemt on same topic.
They put a mobile near the opening on Gas tank and executed several tests.
They found that Petrol vapours coming out from gas tank while filling caught fire only in case where mobile phone received a call/ringing but not while call was already on. Also it did not catch fire where cell was not being used.
It was interesting.

Explanation which they provided was that petrol vapours catch fire more easily than liquid petrol+ Mobile radiation increases multifild when your cell starts ringing.

So they proved there is a possibility. Several conditions like Weather, clothing, different mobile instruments are known to increase the possibility of a fire and if there is a fire ,consequences are very dangerous for ppl around. So why to take that risk. Keep the cell a little farther from Hose.
That urgent call can not be more important then lives of you and ppl around.
