      Long  
      ago gas-station people would sometimes get a shock from a car that's  
      just driven  in . All tank-trucks had a grounding chain  trailing on   
      the ground . Not needed nowadays.

      I was able to go for a ride with a shirt tail relative / friend,,,   in a
      tanker hauling gas.....   and the elimination of the grounding chain has
      more to do with sophisticated electronics that has been added to the trucks
      and trailers.   Even higher performance aircraft will have static whips
      added to help reduce static buildup in the airframe.

      I always been told the static wicks on aircraft were to drain off  
      static charges that affected the radios & nav units.
