    You can put a cigarette out in gasoline if you are quick about it.

    That happened to me about a month ago. Spilled fuel all over my boots.

    I wear gloves when fueling because I have a bad habit of rubbing my eyes while driving. I also like to keep my interior as clean as possible. A guy I worked with years ago would have 1.5 blasting emulsion all over his hands, and not even wipe them off when he’d jump in to drive the truck. That irritates the hell out of me. Nothing like some heavy blend ammonium nitrate, and diesel all over the steering wheel. Really adds a little kick to your sandwich.
