I just Googled. It's a myth. Phones cannot cause such explosions. The culprit was most likely static electricity. https://blogthinkbig.com/why-is-the-use-of-mobile-phones-at-petrol-stations-prohibited http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=127836 4 Likes 1 Share |

HtwoOw: You're given a perfectly valid scientific sequence of events, and off you go dragging in the spiritual. For the same reason we're advised not to get in/out of the car while pumping gas, or smoke cigarettes at the pump, etc.. In dryer climates, you can generate static electricity by motion (cloth rubbing on body), which is then discharged upon contact with a metal object, like a car or pump. The discharge causes a spark which can ignite the fumes of gas or petrol. She might have accidentally caused some static discharge (though I don't know what the phone had to do with it). It doesn't happen too often, but as you can see, it does happen. It's unfortunate it happened (RIP to her), and in saner countries, there'd be an investigation into the leakage. 3 Likes |

3kay945:For this article, we're going to work from the assumption that you don't want to cause an explosion and fire at a gas station, sending the whole structure and all of its patrons up in a cloud of smoke, lottery tickets, windshield-washer fluid and Funyuns. So, if you don't want to cause an explosion or start a fire at a gas station, you should keep your trusty cell phone holstered, right? Nope. While gas stations have posted warnings against cell phone use, and urban legends recount fires started by cell phones at gas tanks, there has been no documented case of a cell phone starting a fire at a gas station [source: Petroleum Equipment Institute]. In fact, researchers have actively tried (and failed) to use cell phones to start gas pump fires [source: MythBusters]. What started the idea that cell phones and gas pumps don't mix? One culprit could be the little shock you get when you shuffle across the carpet. While cell phones haven't been shown to ignite fires at gas stations, static electricity has. When you gas up your car, you're likely careful not to spill a single drop (gas is expensive!). Still, gas vapors hang out around the pump nozzle, even when it's inserted in your gas tank. Those vapors can be ignited by static electricity. Once they get ignited, the fire travels wherever the gas is — inside the pump, inside the car's fuel tank — and the next thing you know, there's a big boom and you're going to have a lot of explaining to do to your insurance company. You're not safe from static electricity just because most gas stations are short on shag rugs. If you like to start the fuel pump, then get back in your car (because you're cold or lazy and don't want to stand outside) and then go back to return the nozzle to the pump, your little visit inside your car might have charged you up enough to ignite those gasoline fumes. In fact, some experts have found charges of up to 60,000 volts on people who'd gotten in and out of their cars while refueling [source: Hunter].

This is absolute bullshit. Your cell phone cannot cause fire at a gas station. It's nothing but an urban legend. https://www.snopes.com/autos/hazards/gasvapor.asp www.nydailynews.com/autos/cell-phones-don-pump-fires-experts-article-1.1123228 https://canadasafetycouncil.org/safety-canada-online/article/cell-phones-risks-and-rumour www.abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=127836&sid=248 https://auto.howstuffworks.com/car-driving-safety/accidents-hazardous-conditions/using-cell-phone-at-gas-pump-make-it-explode.htm 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. 1 Like |
