[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 14276969, member: 141815"] Any hose made for a fuel transfer pump that goes between the storage tank and vehicle by federal law is required to have an anti-static feature built into the hose. This is to dissipate the static electricity equally between the tank, pump, hose and car. I'm not sure if your wire will work between all the components as you're refueling the car I had a friend that got seriously burned 20 years ago with diesel fuel while filling a 100 gallon fuel tank on a dump truck. This was due to a faulty hose made by Goodyear that didn't dissipate the static electricity correctly. He almost died and spent more than 3 months in the hospital and couldn't work for more than a year. The volume you're transferring and the amount you're transferring per minute is much lower than he was, so the build up of static electricity should be lower in your case. But it is still a risk you need to minimize as much as possible Also remember that you're dealing with E85 and that you also want a hose that will not deteriorate with that fuel type [/QUOTE]
