Controlling Electrostatic Ignition Hazards during Fuel Delivery at Forecourts Graham Hearn1, Ulrich von Pidoll2 & Jeremy Smallwood3 1 Wolfson Electrostatics 2 Physikalisch -Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) 3 Electrostatics Solutions Ltd. The use of electrically insulating synthetic materials, such as plastics, for fuel pipelines and other fuel handling components is now becoming widespread. In the case of buried pipelines in filling station forecourts the use of these materials offers superior corrosion resistance and increased longevity. This in turn reduces the risk of pollution due to fuel leakage. It is well reported that the flow of fuel under certain conditions in both metal and plastic pipes can produce significant levels of Electrostatic charge on the fuel. Pipe systems in modern filling stations generally contain both plastic pipe lengths and metal components such as in-line valves and couplings on which Electrostatic charge can accumulate.
