Since a man has been arrested and it was 1:40am following New Year's Eve, I can't imagine why...

Don't these pumps have fire switches that automatically shut them down? And, by the way, cracking comments above :)

They have automatic cut-off valves at the base of the pump unit, so if a woman inadvertently drives into the unit, it is isolated. Same isolation though if a man drives into it :)

Looking at the way the pumps are leaning, its not happened from the main road.......which makes it even more bizarre.
