REFLECTOR: "Rube Goldberg" resistorforplasticairplanefuelsystems

[John Dibble]

The body is a reasonably good conductor.  I hold the fuel nozzle in one
hand, outstretched, while touching the closed fuel cap with my other
hand.  That way if there is a spark, there will be no fuel fumes
present.  Also this way the electrical potential will be the same for
the fuel nozzle and the filler opening.
