Abstract
The generation of electric charges in hydrocarbon fuels during transfer has been recognised for many years as an explosion hazard, and the oil companies have taken precautions against this danger as a matter of routine. Usually the hazard arises only in the early stages of handling, and is associated with the fast pumping of large quantities of product, particularly into large refinery tanks and tankers. The possibility of a hazard usually becomes less as the product approaches the consumer, owing to the successively smaller quantities pumped.
