A Tank FULL of FUEL will never EXPLODE - Why??

You should have seen someone throwing match sticks inside the Petrol/Diesel tank of Vehicles or some huge tanks in many movies after which an EXPLOSION takes place. Will this action of just dropping a small match stick explode the whole tank??

                 

                 An  Interesting fact is, the chances of explosion is less when the tank is completely filled with fuel and there are MORE chances of a BLAST if the FUEL present in the tank is LESS.In brief, the chances for the tank to explode depends upon the quantity of fuel (COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL) present and the SIZE of the TANK.
