How about it Ralph? Know anything abou this?

He is correct re static electricity causeing fires while filling
containers
with gasoline, especially Plastic one's. The dispenser nozzle is
grounded,
but there is no continuity of ground to small containers, ie 5 gallons
or
less.

There have been a number of documented cases where "Flash Fires" occured
in/on/under womens clothing shortly after filling a vehicle with gas. A
good
majority of these incidents occur as they go to open the car door or
open
the door to the Gas station.

Consider the average woman wearing a skirt wears a slip & panty hose
under a
wool or mainly synthetic skirt giveing 3 layers of synthetics to rub
together/create static.

That would definitely be a "hot" woman!

The average woman dressed as described above will certainly crackle & put on
a show sparkling show when walking briskly in a "Dark Area". A "Heavy Lady"
whose legs rub together as she walks will really put on a show when dressed
as described above.
