Default Re: Electric Shocks...YOUCH!

How come you don't get a spark when you insert the fuel nozzle into the filler tube?
At least I don't remember ever getting a spark.
I'm getting out of the burn unit in a day or so.

Seriously,
When I fuel my aircraft (any aircraft) you always attach a static
cable to the aircraft's frame to prevent sparks during refueling.
How come you don't need to do this with automobiles?
