Stop Static at the Gas Pump
Fires caused by static electricity at the gasoline pump are no urban myth, but they are preventable if motorists follow all safe refueling practices when they top off their tanks. The main way consumers can avoid static electricity problems at the pump is to remain outside the vehicle while refueling, even though it may be tempting to climb back into the vehicle when the winter chill is in the air. It only takes two minutes, on average, to fill up the tank and staying outside the vehicle will greatly minimize the likelihood of any build-up of static electricity that could be discharged at the nozzle.
