Video of an actual refueling fire incident (long version).
The Petroleum Equipment Institute began investigating mysterious refueling fires in the mid-1990s. They learned that static electricity—the same thing that shocks you after you drag your feet on the carpet—can ignite gasoline vapors at the pump.

What? No flailing of arms and screaming?
She broke one of the cardinal rules of fuel filling: don't get back into and then out of, the vehicle. She'd already discharged the static when she touched the pump (and car), the first time.

I know, I'll rub my nylon jumper and generate lots of static electricity. Should give a nice spark when I remove the pump.
