How do you fill an volatile solvent tank safely?

Answer 1

ground the tank to a/the building's 'ground', like the water-pipe for example.

prior to filling, etc. ---- the large container you are filling 'from' should also be

'grounded' at all-times. this can be simply done with large or small /as the case

may be/, and electrical wire with 'alligator clamps/clips' each-end. the large

truck the fills your large tank should also be 'grounded' thusly, as well as maybe

a 'chain' hanging from truck ,ground' to street/parking-lot pavement,

or other anti-static device known as a 'ground strap' which LOOKS like a

rubber strap permanently attached to ground of truck, that drags along the

street at all times, driving or parked. NOTE-- there are ground straps

availabvle for even the person working on sensitive electrical=devices, which

velcros around the wrist of the person-to-ground with a wire to aligator-clip

to ground to eliminate static discharge from clothing whilst moving-about.

did u ever see static=cling on lady's dress on TV ad.
