Below is a link to a tab on our website with discussion of the danger that is present with static electricity and fuel.
this has been a strong topic for us since a very serious accident involving a friend of ours with a similar work environment as ours here at Race-1
on going discussion and awareness will hopefully help prevent some accidents in the future

It was my understanding that his hauler burnt to the ground in the late 90s/early 2000s due to a static fire. They were pouring fuel into a container or something in the trailer and it wasn't grounded.
