mostly by bonding the refueling truck to the aircraft to equalize the static electricity between the refueling truck and the aircraft. there are also different types and grades of aircraft fuel that have very different flash points and auto ignition temperatures. the refueler should also not be wearing clothes that build up a heavy static charge i.e. wool and poly. there are parts of the aircraft that get very hot during flight and on landing, spilling fuel on the brakes of an aircraft that has recently landed is almost a guarantee that it will catch fire. fuelers should also not be wearing anything that can cause sparks i.e. hobnailed soles, exposed steel toed boots, or riveted pants. all refueler trucks should have 2 fire extinguishers on the outside of the truck, and if there is a fuel spill the refueler truck is not to be turned off due to the posibility of a backfire, or started due to the posibility of sparks from the electrical system.
