Does this require grounding or bonding?

Question:
If I am pouring gasoline from a plastic container through a plastic funnel into a vehicle, does it need to be grounded or bonded to avoid the possibility of static electricity causing the fuel vapors to ignite ? I would also appreciate any web sites that talk about different scenarious of this nature. Thanks all

Always err on the side of caution. If you have any reservations, touch the body of your vehicle, AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK INLET! This will aleviate any static built up in your clothing.

One of the most dangerous and common mistakes is when someone pulls up to this gas pump, gets out and starts filling their tank. But while the tank is filling they jump back into the car, thus "recharging" the static in their clothing, then getting back out without grounding themselves again. Then when they grab the pump nozzle, the static sparks from their hand to the nozzle in the fume area, just above the tank inlet, causing instant fire and potentially an explosion!
