INHIBITION OF CHARGE ACCUMULATION

摘要

Charge accumulation inhibitor of a fuel filler pipe prevents an accumulation of a portion of electrical charge that a conductor such as cap flange retainer or a fuel dispensing metallic spout may otherwise, in absence of the inhibitor or grounding of the spout, acquire. The inhibitor is made of semi-conductive material such as a nylon filled with conductive particulate to yield a volume of resistivity of between about 1 x 102 - 1 x 105 ohm-centimeters.
