Default static discharge causes refueing fires, engine off/on

she builds up charge sliding out of seat, and arc's to exposed metal at back of nozzle, igniting fumes.

right combo of clothing, humidity, fumes, and station hardware.<ul><li><a href="http://www.sfowler.com/static/pump%20fire.avi">http://www.sfowler.com/static/pump%20fire.avi</a</li></ul>
