However, this should be taken care of when fueling from a fuel pit by using the "grounding" wire that should be available at ench one, and when fueling from a truck, be sure the fuel truck operator connects the truck "grounding" cable from his truck to your airplane before getting started with the hoses. "Grounding" is just a generic term for what is really being sure that any potential difference, i.e., between your airplane and the fuel source is essentially zero. No potential difference, no spark.
