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.
