| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Fires at the gas pumps caused by static electricity. vehicles are catching fire while attempting to fuel vehicle. fewer vehicles does not properly ground when fuel nozzle inserted into fill spout of vehicle. i have performed a study to show difference between older fuel spouts with a grounding cable and newer spouts that do not have cable. also, the material of the spouts have changed from all metal to a metal with a plastic insert. this would prevent vehicle from being grounded. in my study, i found many different makes and models of vehicles containing these type fill spouts. i also had my findings confirmed by a professor of electrical engineering from a local university. *la |
