The only danger I have heard is this:

	The fumes from the pouring gas somehow reach
	the engine and can be ignited by a stray spark.
	The ensuing flame propagates back to the gas
	tank and everything goes up.

I personally have heard this happen only once. So it must
be rare. If you are really worried about it, either remind
them of the warning sign (usually present on the pump island)
or go to another station.
