To make sure I understand; when I take my gas containers for my lawnmower to be filled they should not be placed on the ground by the pump when being filled? Where should it be placed?

Filling a gas container "above the ground" as in the bed of a truck, in the back of a car etc.
That has always been my understanding, fill gas containers "on the ground". |

Some of those truck bed-liners can build up static.

I think I would have a better chance of a meteor hitting me than some of the things happening that are mentioned above.
No smoking. Got it. Makes sense. Fill containers on ground, not in truck bed with bedliner. Okay fine got it. Phone exploding? Dont Get back in car when refueling?? Look here and see this was back in 2003 and its pretty much word for word with the original post. Thats 14 years ago. http://articles.mcall.com/2003-04-09...-mobile-phones

Interesting stats. Here in Australia, you can't lock the trigger of the pump in the 'on' position, so it's impossible to walk away from it while filling. Also, use of cell phones is banned while at the service station; if the attendant sees anyone using a cell phone, they remotely shut down the pump so the fuel flow stops.

As I understood it; filling gas containers in the bed of a truck or the back of a car = do not do
Fill gas containers while they're placed on the ground near the pump = yes. |

The cell phone story is a myth. The DOT and EPA both have refuted that, IIRC.
Yeah, like when is the last time a phone exploded in your hand. And even if it did, the vapor density is not high enough to support an explosion. If it was, then overheating catalysts would be a bigger issue.....
