I don't know about any potential fire hazard when filling up a gas can while it's inside the pickup.
What I do know is, I never would fill the gas cans while they are in the truck because I wouldn't want the gasoline running lose in the rear of my pickup.
It's hard enough to make sure no gas spills out when I'm filling them sitting on the ground. If I just stuck the gas nozzle inside the pickup and pumped away, I'd be way more likely to accidentally spill the gas.

But I still wouldn't want the liquid gas sloshing around in the pan, and I wouldn't want to have to sop it up either.
What's hard about just pulling the cans out of the bed of the truck anyway?
