Curtis Krouse's comments about equalizing the charge between the source of
fuel and your airplane is right on! 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.
