Thanks so much, I work at a gas station sorta by myself. I have one other co-worker, but I'm the most knowledgeable, which is scary. I literally have to tell people how not to fill a gasoline drum on the back of a truck without grounding. And my boss doesn't seem worried, but all it takes it one spark from a stupid person.
I haul fuel in a semi transport. When I unload at a gas station (gravity unload) or at a farm (pump off) we never ground. There aren’t ground clamps available. When we fill our cars at a gas station where are the grounding clamps? If my 55 gallon steel drum is sitting on the earth and I’m using a pump to dispense fluid in to my car/mower/tractor that’s sitting on the earth wouldn’t this be like filling at a gas station?
At gas stations the hose has a bonding wire in it that is connected to the nozzle on one end and the grounded metal of the pump at the other end. A drum standing on the ground may be grounded but there are variables to the quality of the grounded connection. As for transports, I used to see them with chains or a special rubber strap that dragged on the road to dissipate static. I don't recall seeing this for awhile. Gas station tanks are grounded and bonded underground, as is the piping but that leave the the truck. It must be grounded somehow.
I worked in a mill once where the drums were grounded of all things to an electrical conduct. Turns out the conduct was not even grounded. The fire marshal had a shir fit when he found the set up. That caused so trouble. It is a wonder the place had not been blown up a long time ago. The whole set up was redone and anyone that had anything to do with the drums had to take a grounding and bonding class.
Pls tell me any single accident happened ie fire occured due to static electricity through out the world with authentic proof specially area where temperature does not decrease below 10 degree centigrade in winter...any single example of fire incident??????
You lessened my ignorance when it comes to this stuff. Thanks Denny!
From a former HazMat specialist - KUDOS, well done! Thanks, & Happy Trails
He just made it a lot more clearer and very understandable.
Someone explained it simply!!! Thank you
Excellent explanation, Denny Anderson!
Great explanation Sir 👌👍 In the aviation, it is a must between aircraft/vehicle/service unite and supply fuel tank on wheel or static. Cheers 👍😊
You make it easy to understand!
Good job. Concise, simple, correct.
Very nice video. How can you decant isopropanol from a drum to glass bottles. Do you still need to connect them?
Great job explaining it Denny!
Perfectly explained.

The website says nothing about this.
So clear! Thank you
Awesome explanation
Nice explanation but a link for product on hand would be nice.
Clear, simple, effective.....what else

Excellent
I have seen people using Magnesium and a cylindrical shape item connected a metal termination of the lpg
So...Metal Gas cans?...or Plastic, alright? heard some disparaging things about the 'Red Plastic' containers...
2:44 you know my man has handled some clamps before....Yoooouuuuchhhh!!!
👍👍
