Kero based fuels probably are somewhat lesser risk - think back to Brabazon's little demonstration many decades ago in the kero versus widecut debate.

However, I have had a couple of reports over the desk from authoritative sources relating to automobile refuel fires attributed to mobile phone use.

For those who haven't observed a low flashpoint fuel catching fire .. it's an eye-opening matter ... and puts the whole thing in a different perspective.
