Rick, I don't know if a metal fill nozzle touching a plastic fuel fitting would cause a static charge or not...metal on metal or plastic on plastic definately will...like if a guy filled up some plastic gas cans, hauled 'em in a pick-up w/a plastic bed liner and that can didn't get grounded before touching that filler cap w/all those fumes...seems it COULD happen...I'm not tryin' to scare a bunch of folks, but why not ground 'em and err on the side of caution?...

Glad you gotta kick outta the parachute story... ;D
