A cigarette dropped into petrol will not cause a fire.
I have tried it and it doesn't work -- not with a shallow spill nor a bucket of petrol. In fact petrol is a lot harder to set fire to than any film or petrol station notice would lead you to believe.
Similarly, cars are fairly hard to set on fire.

I agree
I'm one of those guys people tend to ask to look at things. I've seen several cars with fuel leaks spraying petrol around inside the engine bay ( !! ) and not one of them had combusted

Not only does jet fuel not ignite if you drop a lit Zippo into it,
but it turns out that you can't just arm yourself to the teeth and single-handedly overthrow the dictator of a small, South American country.
Really, it's shocking, the way films have lied to me.

Why isn't nylon banned?
An ignition spark is more likely from a static discharge from some naff nylon clothing.
So many stupid rules around. Mobile phones also cannot blow up a petrol station, yet these are banned too in the UK.

but this might be internet bollocks, i've never bothered to check.
