Maybe I'm all wet but something in this refueling exchange isn't adding up to me. when refueling at the airport gas pump, that grounding strap with the clip is connected to a positive earth ground so I'm thinking that a simple length of wire with a rod on one end pushed into the ground and the other end with a clip attached to the exhaust pipe would be a positive ground for the aircraft. if a wire is attached to the funnel, fuel container and exhaust pipe, the plane is still standing on rubber wheels and is not grounded. Yes ?? No ?? has my thinking gone kaddiwompus or what??? JoeC 99621 this IS the week !! > > > > 1. Use a metal gas can. > > 2.
