The idea,
Among motorists there is a great deal of uncertainty in the matter of the alleged danger of Alling: petrol tanks from kerbside pipes with metal nozzles and connections.

Not long ago, in the United States a motorist was having his tank filled by hose from a kerbalde pump. Suddenty, the petrol took fire at the tank orifice and serious conge quences were the result, Invest gations were made, and it was de cided that the most probable cause of the ignition was a static dis- charge of electricity from the nozzles of the hosepipe which was of metal, and had metallic connec tions throughout. The pump wae therefore earthed, but the car, in- aulated by its tyres, was not. was thought that during the early part of the filling operation the nozzle of the pipe had been held away from the metal of the tank. During this time, the friction of fluid passing down the hose had caused electricity, and when the charge was suddenly "shorted" by touching the metal of the tank opening with the nozzle of the pipe, a spark occurred. It was pointed out that similar sparks might have occurred thousands of times with- out causing an explosion, for of the petrol vapour was concentrated and there was insufficient air mixed with it, it would not ignite.
