Could this happen here down under?

The lady behind the counter said "I know your tank's in your boot", what's for him to explain?haha, I was questioned many times by servo attendants about filling the R10, but usually a short explanation sorted it out. Had to show one once the engine bay to assure him it was a legit method of putting fuel in it.
This guy didnt do much to explain the situation (ie its not the boot thats open...) so can only assume he was more interested in the video getting clicks.
I try to avoid the comments as a general rule... Oh well, plenty of other servos.The lady behind the counter said "I know your tank's in your boot", what's for him to explain?
Their policy is the boot, bonnet and all doors must be closed while refuelling. If you read the comments, there are people with early Beetles, Hillman Imps, early Landrovers (with the tank under the seats), etc that have had the same refusal problem at BP.
The "hot engine" risk is just BS, otherwise motorcycles would be going up in flames every 5 minutes.
If I had to guess I'm thinking maybe they've had some sort of incidents with someone fueling up containers either inside the car or in the boot?Interesting comment on refueling motorcycles. However if i took in my motor scooter which has the fuel tank under the seat and so must be refueled with the seat up, therefore with the "boot" stowage space open, like most scooters. would that be not allowed ???
HMmn rules for the sake of silly ideas from a desk bound DH that does not get out much in the real world.
Next I guess we might have to sign a waiver to do anything not considered 'normal'
