can anyone write a paragraph please on how static electricity can be dangerous??thanks?

Answer 1

Good example of how static electricity can be dangerous was on the nation news the other day.
A man filing his vehicle up had forgotten his cell phone in the vehicle. When he opened the door to get it the spark from static electricity ignited the gasoline vapors catching the vehicle and gas pumps on fire.
Another one saw personally when all of us on the way to the lake to go fishing. A buddy was filling the tanks for his boat. Had them in the bed of his pick up which he'd just had a bed liner put in.
Static electricity ignited the gas vapors around the tank causing on heck of a fire in the bed of his truck before we got it put out. Next result one burned up gas tank, and one burned up bed liner. Lucky to get it out before any real damage done to the truck other than having to repaint the bed.
Plus him having to buy all of us new fire extinguishers.
It was an after market plastic gas tank. not a metal one.

We have also had several cases in this area where people were filling the tanks in their boats (plastic tanks) instead of taking them out and setting them on the ground. The static electrical spark set the gas vapors on fire which in turn burned their boats up.

Those are a few examples. I am sure you local Fire Marshall can give you a lot more.
