Not much new to add...
In addition to NOT sitting on the bike while refueling (I couldn't find the video of someone that was sitting on his bike refueling, then the tank caught fire while he was sitting there..)..
I now wear nitrile gloves when fueling.. esp in CA where you have to wrestle with pulling the vapor hood back with one hand controlling the fuel flow with the other.. I'm a cheapskate so most of the time I'll wash my hands with the gloves on and reuse them the next time.. occasionally there's a gasoline spillage mess and then I just toss them..
