Starting/Shuttingdown APU during fuelling

A humble pilot question to you guys.

I was always taught, on previous aircraft, not to start/shutdown the Apu while fuel was actually flowing into the tanks - something to do with static electricity, I was told.

However, this is now permitted by the manufacturer on the A320 family of aircraft.

Any comments from you guys about this, please?

Cheers,
mcdhu
