Robert:
I know you sometimes follow the Europa net and wonder if you have
encountered a recent thread concerning a german Europa which burned
after the fuel fumes were ignited during refuelling?
The discussion concerns the grounding of plastic containers, fuel lines
and tanks due to their production of unrequited static caused by
gasolene rushing/sloshing in plastic. There was some talk also of
rerouting vent lines away from (1) the roof and/or (2) the fuel
inlet....
(1) dripping fuel thru the vent in upset/crash.......(2) ejcting fumes
near the fuelling inlet.
Your comments always seem cogent.......
