Possible? Yes.
In the US? Very doubtful. Unless someone bombs it. That doesn’t look like a U.S. install to me. |

Looks like some desert place that has a lot of oil but doesn't know how to build a gas station.

A lot of seal offs and explosion proof rated stuff on tank wiring. Portions have gone to intrinsically safe wiring for a good while now. Some dispenser pumps used to have two seal offs just in one pump as a conduit passes from one section of the dispenser to the other. Even conduits with wiring to the canopy lighting have seal offs as they emerge from the ground to feed the lights in the canopy.

Fortunately, these types of videos are rarely from somewhere in the US.
Maybe all of our crazy rules, regs and codes have something to do with that. |

Partially filled tank with a vapor concentration between 1.4 and 7.6%, add a spark, and kaboom.
Loads of safety standards and regulations exist in the US to minimize the risk. In the third world, your mileage may vary. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Foxtrot08: Originally Posted By wissota4: Gas station bleve? Basically. Vapor build up in the tank. Static electricity sparking it. And the middle east gets a ton of static electricity. I always guess from the fine particles of sand blowing around. I remember seeing visible sparks touching car doors and having my finger pushed back. Also made radio communications pretty shit. Our metal buildings had huge grounding rods they were connected to. I saw one dug up once, the surface part was tiny, but the thing was almost six feet tall and shaped like the Eifel Tower. |

Lightning hit a gas station about 2 miles from my house, swelled up the whole lot. Pumps no longer in service but store is still open.
