Without an electrical connection between aircraft and fuel (farm or truck)
 tank, a differential charge is developed by the process
of moving the gas
 from one tank to another (from the truck/farm tank to the aircraft tank)!
 Just what this thread needs... more food for thought!  Maybe we (the anal)
should have a seminar at Sun 'n Fun on the subject! :)
