Need help putting gas in your car

If you know a local fire fighter, ask them about static electricity and fires when fueling cars.

Electro static pad to which you stand on, wrist strap to the human and strap to the container and car to the electro static pad. That would do it! No nylon jackets either in the pits. Rubber sole shoes manditory with SFI rating!

Must go hand-in-hand with telling people to take their fire extinguisher OUT of the car.

What about fuel checks, that has to be very dangerous in itself, getting fuel from a hot engine compartment. ?????

Always a good idea to put your hand on the car & container before opening or transferring any fuel, especially in dry weather. Just normal maintenance practice.
A ground strap sure won't hurt anything.
