How many of you do this?

the blaze started as he prepared to fill up the Roadtrek recreational vehicle and the nozzle spewed gasoline, igniting when it came into contact with a pilot light on the RV.

Aside from doing that, how much gas do you think you need to reach the 1.2% vapor concentration at the refrig to cause ignition?

You totally missed the point. Do you really think he expected that to happen? Of course not. That's why it's called an accident. It's unexpected. Do you really believe that you personally are immune to the unexpected?

This kind of thing happens more than you might think. I've had a nozzle spit out a bit of gas when just taking it off the pump on more than one occasion.

That's real juvenile. It's thousand times more dangerous to drive on the road. My guess is your not locked in your house. You call it ignorance; maybe it's just being over the top on your part. You can do whatever you want. As for myself, you have my permission to call me ignorant if it makes you feel superior.

Ignorance: a lack of knowledge, understanding

Not name calling. A state of knowledge, or rather lack of it.

So who thinks they are superior and who's being juvenile? Or is your name calling because you really don't like being shown that there really is a danger here. Small safety precautions can take out a lot potential issues, when you have it in your power to so simply avoid a problem, why wouldn't you? But never mind, you've never had a problem so clearly no one else has either, you are right and I am wrong. I'm OK with that.

If you bothered to read the post I quoted they were inferring that this NEVER happens, "show me one post" they said. We have the internet, it took SECONDS to find that article. Ignorance is a choice in the world we live in. I choose to dig into things and not follow the "wisdom" on Internet threads.
