A grounding wire between your boat and the dock can discharge any static sparks before you begin to fuel up.
To prevent static sparks while filling your pleasure craft's fuel tank, ensure you ground the boat by attaching a grounding wire to a metal part of the vessel and submerging the other end in the water. Additionally, use a fuel nozzle that has a static dissipating feature and keep the nozzle in contact with the tank opening throughout the filling process to minimize static buildup. Avoid filling the tank in windy conditions and refrain from using electronic devices during fueling. Finally, ensure that the fuel tank is filled slowly to reduce turbulence and static generation.
Gas tankers use a dangling metal chain to prevent static electricity build-up or discharge while filling the tank. This helps to reduce the risk of sparks igniting flammable gases or liquids.

When filling a fuel tank, it's important to turn off the engine and any electrical devices to minimize the risk of sparks. Avoid using your phone or any other electronic devices while refueling, and ensure that you are at least 10 feet away from any open flames or sources of ignition. Additionally, to prevent static electricity, touch a metal part of your vehicle before handling the fuel nozzle. Always ensure the fuel cap is securely closed after filling.
