That's an interesting antecdotal story, and I believe it's true. And a cracking tower would be a lot more likely to have fuel vapor around due to the scale and nature of the operation.
But the question remains, in our application, has anyone EVER put a meter between the aircraft and the fuel nozzle to see if any static voltage exists?
Why is it not required for cars? Is there any significant difference? They are both grounded thru the carbon black in the tires?
I'm not advocating unsafe operation here; I just want the facts so I know where the potential danger is really coming from, not some armchair monday morning quaterback, look over your shoulder whiner's dictum, like not allowing you to fuel your own car in Oregon. Oregonians look just as smart as anyone else to me?
