Rich. Excellent finding. >From that article: The question then arises as to how to deal with the static hazard when pouring from an approved container into an aircraft.
One suggestion is to bond the container to the aircraft before opening the caps on either; a jumper lead could be used here if there is no dedicated bonding lead available. Another possibility is to place the container in contact with the aircraft, again before any caps are removed, and maintain that contact throughout the refuel. Some portable containers have an integral pouring spout with which contact can be maintained. If a funnel is used, ensure that there is continuity between the container, the funnel and the aircraft. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Wilkens To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 01, 2008 12:02 AM Subject: RE: [ercoupe-tech] Re: Plastic Gas Cans This page might be of interest. http://www.caa.govt.nz/Publications/Vector/Vector_Articles/Static-Dangerspdf Richard N99904 MTJ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
