If he had filled the tank, and something happened, the lawyer would have sued him and his company. In the old days we could take responsibility for ourselves. Not today!
We're Kansas folks, and others may not understand how we feel about being told what to do. The best easy example was the helmet law. Many of us worked for years to get rid of it. If we wanted to kill ourselves and it didn't hurt others that was, we felt, our right. Most of us wore helmets then and still wear them now. Our choice, not theirs! The sad part is that one of the main leaders of the fight was killed on his way home from the celebration when he wrecked and wasn't wearing a helmet. His choice and we all supported it.
Second good example was the 55mile per hour speed limit. When the Feds finally made Kansas enforce it the state made the ticket a non moving violation. Didn't hurt your license or insurance and was very seldom enforced. We just don't like being told what to do.
