Evening All, I thought this might be of interest, it came up on the canard forum. Interesting what he says about metal cans. Sounds logical to me too Graham NOT PROPER TERMINOLOGY Please stop throwin

Graham and All, IMHO this would be a very good subject to air on the forum. I have taken what I believe to be safety measurers, but it may not be sufficient. I have a copper wire ( the earth (or grou

Hi William, You might also try the following. I have a cable bolted to the filler spout closure handle for my Jerry cans and on the other end of the cable is a crocodile clip which I connect to a sma

I have been refuling my Emeraude for 10 years with - dare I say it - 'plastic' fuel cans. None-the-less - I've installed a 16 ga ground wire from the filler aluminum cap neck (had to cut out the fill

To save shopping time, a 1/2-watt resistor is much more common and sufficient. The average static spark event we experience is just barely enough to ignite fuel vapor, and equates to a couple watts f

I think that the 1meg ohm resistor is really only necessary when you are working with high voltages with appreciable current. It is used to prevent you --From giving yourself a nasty shock from mains

When hooking up a ground wire system internal to the aircraft you want good connections so that all the static energy is released when grounded. But you want a resistor attached to the external groun

Fred - I guess this comes from the static discharge straps used in electronics. They have a relatively high resistance to prevent the wearer suffering adverse effects from accidentally snagging the

I was looking for my carefully misplaced article that was in Sport Aviation that suggested the 1 meg resister, as part of an overall fuel system discussion. . .and you're right about the shopping tim

. I found it on my EAA CD-ROM - April, '87. The author correctly states that discharge time will extend to several microseconds (1 us per pf of capacitance), but "probably below ignition temperature

OK already! I've seen enough conjecture on static spark prevention.... Sorry to be so bold, but I may have some final words regarding this important issue...When the CAF foundation evaluated N111EU w
