Cheers:
I stand corrected.... and thank God for that.
I was under the impression that the static was formed during fuelling
---From the movement of fuel trough ungrounded and therefore potential
routes near fumes. I note a number of corrections to the effect that the
aircraft generates far more in travel through the air, and that suitable
conditions (3) are required.
Nevertheless, I don't disregard that I could be refuelling after a
flight so the source of sparking is not always the only consideration?;
...that one must ensure continuity from source to tank?... and that the
least attractive condition is wafting fumes from the vent over the
fuelling inlet?
I just mused that a braid strap from inlet to tank was a good thing,
and that perhaps it should show continuity through to engine ground and
u/c tyre. Am I wrong?
Happy landings
