      To be fair, you can't ignite gasoline with a cigarette, and I'm guessing oil has similar energy needed for ignition. (The lighter/matches/etc. used to light the cigarettes is another story.)

        Exactly. The reason they don't allow smoking in gas stations is not that cigarettes are dangerous, but that idjuts might try to light them while pumping petrol - a genuinely risky thing. Heavier petroleum products typically take more energy to ignite, lighter ones less. Still, it was a spectacularly stupid place to stop for a smoke. :laugh:

          Don't invoke Darwin's name in vain for an award! Unless (1) at least one of the said morons passed away, that there somehow is proof the previously said moron (2a) hasn't parented any kid, effectively removing himself from the gene pool and that (2b) he light his cigarette on top of it, not merely smoked it. But I'm not the one to let a few details in the way of a good story: upvoted. Thanks for the laugh, I needed it!

                        well the story didn't say gas, just an oil storage tank. Without knowing exactly what was in there, there is the possibility of a different kind of vapor floating around the top of the tank. Something possibly a good bit more flammable.

                          1. Thats why I said honorable mention :-D 2b. Being a plant/storage facility of some sort, and having worked in many of them in years past as a crane operator, I can tell you they have extremely strict rules about smoking. Which tells me the idiot most likely did light up once on top so as not to be seen doing it on the ground where the cameras/coworkers tell all. And yes, any coworker with brains(obviously not his smoking buddy) would report them since it puts their own safety at risk.
