Heres a Youtube clip ‪Gas Pump Explosion Caused by Static Electricity‬‏ - YouTube
There are other videos to be found.

What makes a gas can in the bed so different than a gas tank filler neck?
I'm just asking the question, I'm not being critical of anyones choices.

This has nothing to do with the filler neck being in the bed vs. in the fender or elsewhere. Here's a good article on protection from static electricity when refueling:
