(Sure, the odds of this occuring are very rare, but maybe this will prevent one mishap? And maybe on a boat, this would be much worse?)

Corp HES:

With the onset of Autumn and the decrease in relative humidity, the likelihood of static electricity generation is increased. We've all heard the warnings about avoiding re-entering your vehicle while fueling and grounding yourself before touching the nozzle, but the attached video clip is a vivid reminder of the reality. It also brings to my mind the importance on not talking on a cell phone while fueling.
