Product Manual
the grounded petrol dispenser nozzle as the nozzle is first brought close to the
tank/container at the beginning of the fuelling process.
Flowing petrol. Most people are not aware that petrol accumulates stac
electric charge while flowing through a hose or pipe. This charge then transfers
to and accumulates in the gas tank or container that is being filled. The total
amount of charge accumulaon depends on the amount of gas pumped into the
container, the speed with which it is pumped, and whether or not the
tank
/container is grounded. If sufficient stac electric charge accumulates in the
fuel tank or container during the fuelling process, the tank/container may
discharge a spark to the grounded petrol dispenser nozzle.
Persons. A person dispensing the petrol can carry a stac electric charge on
their body, typically resulng from contact with their car seat or electronics. The
stac electricity can discharge a spark between that person’s hand and either
th
e grounded dispenser nozzle or the fuel tank opening.
