Cell phone use while refueling
While refueling DW's car this AM I was concerned that a woman at the adjacent pump was talking on her cell phone while pumping gas and told her so. She just blew off my concern (crazy old geezer!) and went about her merry way.
When I got home, I decided to research and make sure I was correct (yeah, I know, open mouth 1st, THEN get the facts). Anyway, it turns out that the PEI (Petroleum Equipment Institute) has never documented a single incident that was caused by a cellular telephone. See

I do feel, however, that being distracted by talking on the cell phone is an unnecessary risk and will not do it myself. Refueling is a task where you need to pay attention to what you are doing.
Thought I'd share what I found.
