Another thing to think about is possibly one of those trucks having a fuel line rupture or leak. Rare,but does happen..

Diesel isn't very flammable. If you throw a lit match into a bowl of diesel fuel it will put the match out. Diesel works on heat and pressure.
It's about as flammable as cooking oil.bzinger, Opus and bryan21384 Thank this. -
This wasn’t a bowl,this was HUNDREDS OF GALLONS of diesel fuel that went up in flames and smoke(and almost took the fuel line with it)!
Let’s also not forget with most trucks using DEF nowadays the chemical reaction when it’s injected into the exhaust stream generates A LOT of heat! -
Dang. Another Pilot got barbecued. The comments yall are posting are making me chuckle.
mjd4277 Thanks this. -
Team818 and bryan21384 Thank this.

The DEF doesn't really generate the heat. Its the reaction of diesel and the DOC catalyst that makes the heat for a regen.
God prefers Diesels and Savor the Flavor Thank this. -
Hello dispatch? Ummmmmm……..
nikmirbre and TheLoadOut Thank this. -
Another good reason to shut the truck off while fueling. At least it won't be in a regen while parked there.
mjd4277 and drvrtech77 Thank this. -
Plan your fuel stops accordingly drivers.
