Default How NOT to pump gas!

and they say stupid blond jokes dont have any truth to them check this one out! LMFAO!
it looks like another case of a static electricity spark, but at least the nozzle had shut off so she wouldnt have sprayed flamming gas all over the place.

Look at that sweater. That'* what caused it. You never get back in the car when pumping.

you can, you just have to touch something metal (other than the pump handle!) to discharge the static
