Ha ha it happens ooooooo, a neighbor in my street died 2years ago when tried to receive call while starting a generator.

let try to be objective here!


Are you there when it happens?


Or you base your assumption on "them say them say principle"

Probably must be he was filling his gen while it was running

Let me warn my kids ooo, mommy mommy your phone is ringing while Im cooking should stop ooooooo, we all need to be careful because most people do not believe

addizzle:
....my dear yes oo.. .God has been sparing me oo but I shouldn't put Him to test for long naa ..so am getting it tomorrow ooo

u have learnt from NL..hope u know it ain't only gas..but petrol as well

dingbang:
People dont adhere to simple safety instructions...

What are the safety instructions?

Dafreeguy:


u have learnt from NL..hope u know it ain't only gas..but petrol as well

hahahahaaha....yes oo

SEE WHAT IGNORANCE HAS CAUSED. people should know these safety rules.

addizzle:
hahahahaaha....yes oo

good! so what did scared addizle cook tonight with her Nokia torchlight fone? am famished!

bughead:
what make your phone vibrate is due to a device called motor! The same device found in clipper.


Your phone is case seal and there is no how even if ignition occur in your phone can explode a gas!

It's easy to confirm. Take out your multimeter, call your phone and take reading.

STOP DISPLAYING UR FOOLISHNESS. don't wait till it happens to you before you learn. simple safety rules some people don't know. and will boldly come out to argue.

Is there a science to this?

Naaa electromagnetic wave bro can ignite gas. It has nothing to do with village people.

I haven't confirm the fuel and phone thing but the cylinder gas and phone is confirmed bro,. It happened to My in-law family's friend. The lady was buried same day according to Islam rite.

I just Googled.

It's a myth.

Phones cannot cause such explosions.
The culprit was most likely static electricity.

This is where Google failed you, I guess.

So everybody that over-wears make-up is now considered beautiful, abi? Even Bobrisky...right? May she R.I.P anyway!

You're given a perfectly valid scientific sequence of events, and off you go dragging in the spiritual.

For the same reason we're advised not to get in/out of the car while pumping gas, or smoke cigarettes at the pump, etc..

In dryer climates, you can generate static electricity by motion (cloth rubbing on body), which is then discharged upon contact with a metal object, like a car or pump. The discharge causes a spark which can ignite the fumes of gas or petrol. She might have accidentally caused some static discharge (though I don't know what the phone had to do with it). It doesn't happen too often, but as you can see, it does happen.

It's unfortunate it happened (RIP to her), and in saner countries, there'd be an investigation into the leakage.

I am not surprised though as you cannot even differentiate "new" from "knew".

For this article, we're going to work from the assumption that you don't want to cause an explosion and fire at a gas station, sending the whole structure and all of its patrons up in a cloud of smoke, lottery tickets, windshield-washer fluid and Funyuns. So, if you don't want to cause an explosion or start a fire at a gas station, you should keep your trusty cell phone holstered, right?

Nope.




While gas stations have posted warnings against cell phone use, and urban legends recount fires started by cell phones at gas tanks, there has been no documented case of a cell phone starting a fire at a gas station [source: Petroleum Equipment Institute]. In fact, researchers have actively tried (and failed) to use cell phones to start gas pump fires [source: MythBusters].


What started the idea that cell phones and gas pumps don't mix? One culprit could be the little shock you get when you shuffle across the carpet. While cell phones haven't been shown to ignite fires at gas stations, static electricity has. When you gas up your car, you're likely careful not to spill a single drop (gas is expensive!). Still, gas vapors hang out around the pump nozzle, even when it's inserted in your gas tank. Those vapors can be ignited by static electricity. Once they get ignited, the fire travels wherever the gas is — inside the pump, inside the car's fuel tank — and the next thing you know, there's a big boom and you're going to have a lot of explaining to do to your insurance company.

You're not safe from static electricity just because most gas stations are short on shag rugs. If you like to start the fuel pump, then get back in your car (because you're cold or lazy and don't want to stand outside) and then go back to return the nozzle to the pump, your little visit inside your car might have charged you up enough to ignite those gasoline fumes. In fact, some experts have found charges of up to 60,000 volts on people who'd gotten in and out of their cars while refueling [source: Hunter].

just google every source I can find online and there is no event ever recorded!

Even the famous myths buster has debunk this and called it an urban legend!

actrinity:

His question was in order. How can a phone call ignite a cylinder? Is there any electrical connection to the cylinder?

My thoughts exactly. Correlation is not causation.

An educated reader. A rarity on this forum

This is absolute bullshit. Your cell phone cannot cause fire at a gas station. It's nothing but an urban legend.

If it's true, one is left to wonder why it doesn't happen OFTEN since most people do not obey the warning signs at gas stations---they do not follow the instructions.

It's nothing but a myth. There's no scientific evidence to back it up.

RIP to the woman and all the others. My heart goes out to their family and friends. It's quite tragic.
