 Hmmm.  This is very interesting.  I'm wondering if static on the OUTSIDE of a
wing can blow up the fuel on the inside of the wing, isn't it true that flying
itself creates quite a bit of static?  Especially if you fly in primer?
  
 Or is this not a factor because you are not touching the ground?

 I would be very cautious about putting an electrical device in a fuel cell.
 One person has already blown up a Lancair wing and blown himself up in the
 process, too. And that was just from sanding on the outside of the wing.
