The exhaust idea sounds a lot better than the compressed air.

Haven't you ever seen the fuel delivery guy drop his cigarette but down the
hole at the gas station? No air down there to support combustion...

You hope.

In theory, or under precisely controlled conditions, yes you can
extinguish a burning match in liquid gasoline. In practice...?

I sure don't want to be there the day someone tries that cigarette
trick and the vapor recovery system is screwed up, to where it has
sucked in an above-LEL level of atmospheric oxygen in the tank.

They'll hear that sucker go BOOM! in the next state, and they'll be
picking up pieces of the delivery driver with tweezers.
