Do private drivers wear anti-static gloves when refueling?

Some readers asked whether gas station employees and self-help refueling should wear anti-static gloves. Xiao Bian had read some information. Throughout all those accidents caused by the lack of attention to electrostatic hazards, it was because they did not understand static electricity knowledge.

Once, a news about “when a young man wears chemical fiber clothes and catches fire instantaneously” was widely circulated on the Internet. The cause of the fire was actually caused by static electricity on the fabrics of chemical fiber fabrics when the guy refueled. When people comb their hair and take off their sweaters, they will experience static electricity. Therefore, electrostatic hazards at the gas station cannot be ignored.

Static electricity is the main focus of gas stations' daily work. Open flame, lightning strike, and static electricity are the three major hidden dangers for gas stations. Gas station staff are wearing uniform anti-static overalls to work, shoes can not wear shoes with metal materials. Even some gas stations are equipped with grounding static discharge guns.

Although the metal keyboard on the refueling machine is directly grounded, the process of inputting their own refueling information on the keyboard by the vehicle owner before refueling is equivalent to discharging the static electricity carried by the body, eliminating the static electricity carried by the body. However, this does not prevent the re-emergence of static electricity. After static electricity is dissipated, the static electricity will reappear after you beat or pull your clothes.

Gas station workers remind owners: During the refueling process, the driver should not return to the vehicle to prevent static electricity from getting onto the upper body again. The refueling gun should be inserted into the tank port as much as possible to reduce the volatile oil and gas during the refueling process. Then remove the fuel gun. The citizens of the condition can also prepare a pair of anti-static gloves in the car so that they can wear it when they are self-refueling.
