Many thanks!

Additional question - about the PDF
Page 34 - Grounding:


The picture shows that the tank container and the tanker are in contact with the ground. Grounding!

Transferred to the aircraft, this should mean that there is also a certain degree of protection when the aircraft and the tanker are in place. But not the best!

This means that the tanker is also protected to a certain extent by the tyres and the car anti-static earthing strips - even if this is not the best way.

For example, if the earthing cable or clamp falls off or has been installed incorrectly / or has been forgotten.


-> I also believe that antistatic materials are installed in the hoses to protect them and prevent sparks if an earthing cable breaks. Additional protection. True?
