WHAT is a myth?

[LouAvul]

Pour some gas on the ground and then throw a lit cigarette on it. It doesn't ignite. This link.

Ditto firing a gun into a gas tank. Hollywood has us believe it will ignite and explode. Another fairy tale believed by the gullible. Mythbusters has already demonstrated that gas tanks don't explode, even if the tank is mostly fumes. A full tank might even douse tracer rounds. Liquid gasoline or diesel isn't very flammable.
