"Just

THAT bears repeating.......
over, and over, and over........
Trust me, I know.....
In my case I was filling a gas can and the arc that started the fire jumped
about 3 inches........
I had the presence of mind to put it out but the potential for burning the
gas station to the ground was right there in front of me.

Harry, you got lots of answers and this may be too late, but: If the
plane
is full of fuel it will not take that long to drain three, 5 gallon cans
of
fuel... It is a high wing and you don't even have to get dirty... Just
remember to clip a ground wire between the can and the plane while the
fuel
is draining...

Good question, btw...
