Bill, I can relate. I had filled lawnmowers, weed wackers, tractors,
cars, etc., for years and never had a bit of problem.  But, would'nt you
know it on my most prized material possession, that awlful "whuummp" of
igniting gas caught up with me.  And, Yes, the gasoline fumes had no
problem supporting a flame out of the wing tank and gas can.  Just like
one of the old kerosen lanterns.  I now have a fire extinuisher handy
even when the refuel truck is passing gas. A believer.
