Hi RKW, Our local TV station did a article on the approx. same thing last year. Women wearing nylons were having fuel tanks catch fire while fueling. The fire department did a demo and sure enough after rubbing nylon he touched the metal rim on the fuel neck filler and set off a fire. they showed the reaction in slow motion so you could see the spark jump from his finger tip to the filler neck ring. Shot fire back up his "coverd" arm to almost his shoulder. He then covered the fuel neck snuffing out the flame on the filler neck. what the fire department said was the reaction of the person fueling is too pull away when they saw the flames thus spraying fuel all over the outside of the car creating a larger fire. What charged the finger was the nylon rubbing against the car seat upholerstery so people should not get back into there car while fueling. They also stated talking on cell phones while fueling could also cause the same problems. T_Bone
