You've probably seen fuel tanker trucks with
a metal chain
dragging. It too was used as a static drain for obvious reasons ;)
I only noticed one of these for the first time about a month ago. I
was wondering why they were dragging a chain; it was throwing lots of
sparks. Didn't seem like a great idea to me, but what do I know?
