More dangerous than the in-tank electric fuel pump with loose wiring and connectors all submerged in petrol at all times that is standard in most cars today? Seems counter-intuitive but they tell us it's not dangerous. Although, there are 100,000 car fires a year in the UK, most of them petrol cars. They never say exactly what causes them though.
