Myth Busters on TV tried about 30 times to get a cell phone
to ignite gas fumes in a tank. Sprayed HUGE amounts of
fumes with oxygen, and NEVER ONCE got it to do a thing.

Real cause? Static spark from people leaving a car seat
without touching metal before 'sparking' near the fumes
at the gas spout.

Utter bull**** - just an urban myth with no facts to back it up.
