I pulled up to a gas station once when the tanker truck was there preparing to unloading its fuel. One guy was pumping gas while smoking. I heard the old truck driver say to him, "I'm not going to tell you again, put out that cigarette!".
My guess is that the cigarette could have caused a spark with some other substance nearby which the truck driver wanted no part of.
