Maybe he was using a flashlight (torch?) and knocked it on something making a spark? Hard to believe anyone working around large volumes of fuel could be THAT stupid as to use a flame source to look in a fuming gas tank. Lack of flame suppression is tragic.

The guy who put up the video used the words "lorry" and "petrol" and I didn't bother to put together the fact that the driver was on the left. Sam: You’re right, I can’t believe I missed that!

We drive on the left here and the driver got out of the left side of the cab not the right. The forecourt guy's wearing a t-shirt which should've been the real givaway, far too cold here. Saudi plates I reckon. Definitely not in England. We drive on the left here and the driver got out of the left side of the cab not the right.
