<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Evan8, post: 2581525, member: 74343&quot;]I agree gas fumes are flammable. But for them to ignite, you need the perfect amount of oxygen to do so. In an engine the ratio is 14.7 parts air to 1 part gasoline. Fuel injectors spray a mist or vapor into intake air, and then compressed into the cylinder by a piston, spark plug ignites the fuel air mixture and an explosion, or combustion occurs forcing the piston&nbsp; to the bottom of the cylinder, turning the crankshaft partially around&nbsp; (each piston in a V8 engine will turn the crankshaft 45°). Point is, is that it takes the perfect scenario to ignite fuel. Too much air or too much fuel and it wont happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have seen people put cigarettes out in gasaline and nothing happens. But you are right, still shouldnt smoke at a fuel pump.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
