Thanks guys. Some good advise and information there. I've gotten by for a long
time with the common plastic to plastic pouring, but there have been some reports
of tragic happenings with this , particularly with lawnmowers, and even occasionally
a boat incident. I've just suddenly gotten it on my mind. Forums like
this are worth their weight in gold, so to speak. Or a life.

I might think that a strip of 12 gauge wire (solid stripped) wrapping
several turns around the plastic handle then running and insulated wire to a
copper grounding rod firmly pushed in the ground should do the trick.

Copper ground rods are the length that they are for a reason. Pound the
entire length in leaving only enough to attach your ground wire. Too busy to
do mine today. The weather has made sure I won't need refueling till Sat.

Should we also carry this ground rod around with us when we fly Xcountry
like John H. does and pound it in the ground at every fuel stop? Kirk

Mr Kurkowski....
The fact that you have a belief system is a good thing... many people do
not... IMHO, everyone ought to believe something...or another... and most
of us certainly appreciate that a lot of good men have died over the years
to give you the right to express your opinion across the length and breadth
of our great nation...
That said, the fact that you saw fit to break into this airplane enthusiast
forum to inject your non-Kolb personal between-your-ears business is
unfortunate... and is indicatative, at least to me, that you don't
understand this list, or how poorly received your words are likely to be
here...
I predict that what WILL certainly be passed on here, Mr. Kurkowski, is not
the political message you fervently pushed, but rather the absolutely
astounding fool you made of yourself on this forum with your post, and how
little most of us appreciated hearing from a zealot such as yourself in this
protected group.... We do airplanes, here, Sir... Kolb airplanes.
Please feel free to rejoin us when you are prepared to discuss Kolb
aircraft... but I warn you, I suspect you will begin that discussion from a
position of profound disadvantage...
Sincerely,
Beauford

You got it Lar I uhh think. The plastic acts like a big compacitor building
a charge on the surface and when the charge becomes big you get ESD
(electrostatic discharge). You might want to take your wire with clips and
add another wire with a small 18" rod and insert it into good old mother
earth.

.
Just got back from vaction and was happy to hear Wayne got it up.( The
S.S. ) that is. Not bad for an old timer and new honeymooner. Congrats on
that too Wayne.
I recieved a damaged mk 111 with almost all the ribs broken. I decided to
do a whole new airfoil cause thats what experimental aviation is all about.
I found it in the EAA Flying and glider manual. it was on the Dormsey flying
bathtub. Same weight span and chord as a mk111 > The profile is semi
symetrical with a cusp at the back. It is a bit thinner than a Kolb. I used
the same incidence as on the Bathtub design.
I try not to refer to my plane as a Kolb out of respect for Dennis and
Homer. The Thunderbird moniker if derived from the indian art done on the
bottom of the wings, tail and nose.

This is just a thought. fuel only builds up static charge when it flows
thru the hose at a great deal of volosity like filling up at a gas station.
The gas stations take this into account and put wire coils in their hoses
and ground the nozzle to ground throught the wire coil. I deal with 138
convience stores and have seen about 5 fires caused from static discharge.
it happened about 3 summers ago when it got dry and hot people would get
back in their car and then slid out and go back and touch the gas nozzle and
start a fire because of the static discharge and the fumes coming out of the
tank. This was at a stations that had the recovery systems in place. I am
unsure of how much static builds up when you pour fuel from one contaner to
the next. You would be more at risk if you slipped out of a vinal seat and
touched a metal object near an open fuel tank. for safety It would probably
be advisable to ground the tank with a clip and the airframe and make sure
you touch the airframe to discharge your body and tank before you poor.
Also keep cell phones away from the area because they can cause fires also
I know this sounds strange but they label this at all gas pumps in
tennessee. I dont know if this is a national thing but I believe it is
because of the contact that are used for ringers .
