Yes _ in law was filling up a gas powered log splitter and spilled gas on hot exhaust pipe and instant fire. Almost burnt down garage.

Who cares?

99.99% of people get off their bike. If you don't get off your bike, there is a 99.99% chance the attendant won't even notice.

He didn't say that cell phones WERE an ignition source. He said that they had INVESTIGATED them as ignition sources.

Maybe you need to do a little more research in English grammar too.

Hahahaha thanks for the laugh pig

I always get off the bike but only because I carry my wallet in the front pocket because of hip problems and can't get it out without standing up. Need to get the keys out also to open the fuel lid.

Then I need to go and empty my tank. I just have all kinds of reasons to get off while fueling not a one for staying on the bike.

I still don't like Shell's policy.
