A grounding wire between your boat and the dock can discharge any static sparks before you begin to fuel up.
Moving the hand too fast to the door knob will not prevent sparks. Sparks occur due to static electricity buildup and discharge between the hand and the metal knob. Slowing down and discharging static electricity by touching grounded metal objects can help prevent sparks.

To prevent static electricity sparks while using a blanket, you can try using a humidifier in the room to increase moisture in the air, which can reduce static buildup. You can also try spraying the blanket with a fabric softener or anti-static spray, or lightly dampening the blanket before use. Additionally, avoid rubbing the blanket against other materials that can create friction and static electricity.
Auto static straps help prevent static electricity buildup in vehicles by providing a path for the static charge to safely discharge to the ground, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite flammable gases or cause damage to electronic components.
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.
