thanks for the knowledge!

btw, how would one ground themselves when standing @ a gas pump?

hold something metal with left hand, while waving golf club in air with right hand, make sure there is lightning at the same time tho!

Most gas pumps now have a grounding strap built into the handle or use non-conductive plastics to keep a discharge of static electricity from igniting fuel vapors when filling up. So it's very unlikely that you'll have to deal with a refuelling fire. To be safe, you can ground yourself simply by grasping the open fuel filler door before removing the gas cap.

So pressure in the gas tank is higher then atmosphere? I thought it was the other way around. It one of my old car the vacuum was so strong that my gas tank just collapsed :thinking:
