DO NOT attempt to do install ethernet or anything else like this near your fuel filler cap. You'll blow yourself sky-high.

The voltages and currents used in ethernet are not Intrinsically Safe and may cause sufficient energisation of the air (spark not necessarily required) to ignite the petrol (gasoline) vapours and KA-BOOM!!!

I used to work in R&D for electronic metering equipment of fuel pumps and bowsers. Trust me on this.

I know this thread is sort of a pipe dream, but someone will try it one day... and end up with a nomination for the Darwin Awards.

While we're on the subject, don't ever use your cellphones on a service station forecourt. Keep 'em in the car.

Cheers
