Just wondering after reading the procedures for fueling airplanes how people gas up other vehicles.
I've never used grounding cables when fueling my cars or trucks at the gas station. Don't think I've ever seen them available for cars and trucks.
I've never grounded a riding lawn mower for refueling. The lawn mower has a plastic tank and sits on rubber tires.
I use plastic fuel cans to fill up everything from weed whackers to tractors.
When purchasing fuel and filling plastic jugs the recommended procedure is to put the jug on the ground and not to fill it in the bed of the pickup. how is the plastic jug conductive sometimes and not at others?
I don't think I'm doing anything vastly different from the rest of the world but it sounds like I'm going to blow up if I'm wearing a blue sweater while fueling.
