 Pumps and Phones. - RichardW
It's only a hazardous area when you are filling, so OK to use the phone to pay before you fill up. You drive your car (a permanent source of ignition!) onto / off the forecourt.

Of course MythBusters looked at it, and couldn't get any sort of spark out of a phone, even when whacking it with a hammer. It's not ATEX certified of course, and rules is rules!!
