Summary of work done by Shell Research Ltd, Thornton Research Center, Chester, over past 6 yr to check safety of existing fueling operations, and to determine to what extent present and future fueling requirements might lead to significant hazard; fuel properties which determine electrostatic phenomena during fueling, and conditions which arise during pumping into receiving tank are examined; charge generation during flow through aircraft fueling equipment; full scale fueling tests; means of preventing electrostatic hazard.
