Why should static electricity be eliminated before self-service refueling?

Index > Power Life > Electrical Safety

Do you also use self-service fuel at the gas station? Have you noticed that there is a "static elimination" device on some machines? 

Dry air in winter is easy to generate static electricity, but if it occurs in a gas station, if there is high concentration of oil and gas plus static electricity, it is likely to cause fire! So before self-service refueling, remember to touch the static elimination zone or other metal objects (such as metal buttons, etc.), remove the static electricity generated by the friction of the clothes, and then pick up the oil gun to refuel. In addition, while waiting for the fueling, also avoid entering and leaving the car again, or organizing the clothes!
