In June of 2000 I was filling a 28 gallon portable tank on wheels in the bed of my pickup. Static electricity caused a fire. I was burned about 40% and spent 4 weeks in UAB burn hospital. The sign at most pumps that says to put tank on ground when filling is for real. With a 28 gallon tank you would need ramps to load. My info is the static is because of bed liners. My mistake was pulling the hose out while the flames were coming out of the opening. Changes of a fire are very remote but it does happen.
