I think the static spark is about as apt to happen as a bird dropping a lighted ember on the neck while filling. May learn better tho.
Dave,

It may not be a problem in your area but in Inland Southern California we get very low humidity. I have ocassionally experienced static sparks just touching the gas nozzle. Luckily, I've never actually experienced static sparks while filling the tank.
