There have been several discussion about the possibility of static discharge
causing a fire while refueling.
Many years ago I recall seeing a film on solvent safety cans.  In the film
the speaker was lighting a fire at the spout of solvent cans while inside a 
hanger
at
Idewild Airport. For you younger guys this is now JFK.  He was able to do
this because the spouts on the cans had a wire mesh inside the spout.
I am wondering if this would be a viable precaution to take with our Europas
Any thoughts or experience.

John, A230
