John, It's also possible to start a fire rubbing two sticks together, but it isn't as likely to be an accidental thing. I would tend to doubt any claims about cell phones starting accidental fires unless there has been some modification to the phone, or other unusual circumstance. Turning off cell phones and radios seems like a reasonable precaution while fueling, I don't have a problem with that. I also don't understand why anyone else would either. Do I turn off my two way radio when fueling? Yes, but mainly because of how it's connected (ignition switch). If fuel vapor liable to ignite because of RF? Not unless the RF field is very strong, or the antenna arcs for some reason. Very likely? Not really. Possible? Sure. So using a little common sense... what's the problem? 'Doc PS - Cross posting is a sure way of causing misunderstandings. |
