Hello,
I get the distinct impression that (a) some of this static is
due
to refuelling right after a flight, when the aircraft has stirred itself thru
the ether and built up a charge, (b) that the engine is still warm and the
wind on the nose is wafting tepid breezes past fuel vents and inetrnal features,
(c) that the main culprit is many times more effective from a plastic container
than a metal one and (d) if a spark from grounding wires is to be tolerated
it should be upwind of any fumes, like the exhaust stack.
cheers, Ferg
