I've seen video of the exploding gas at the pumps. Usually caused when in
the winter someone sets the pump to fill, gets back in the car to keep
warm, then gets out and grabs the pump handle. I think that is one reason
self service pump do not have the locking fill handle.


That makes sense, all of that. I recall pump handles not having a lock and
then a few years ago the lock levers began to reappear. In Houston I think
all pumps have the lock and we are seeing an increase in fires at the pump.
