Gasoline tankers often have metal chains at the back to prevent the buildup of static electricity during loading and unloading operations. As the tanker moves and the gasoline flows through pipes, friction can generate static charges, which pose a risk of ignition if they discharge. The chains help to ground the tanker, allowing static electricity to dissipate safely into the earth, thereby reducing the risk of fire and explosion.

Why petrol tankers along the highways often have metal chains attached that drag along the road?
It disperses static electricity.
What element is used to make chains?
Usually some sort of metal, but the specific metal can vary. Many chains are made of steel, which is a mixture of iron and some other element, usually carbon.
Petrol road tankers usually have a length of metal chain hanging down to touch the ground?
petrol tankers usually have a chain to touch the ground so that the charges do not accumulate on the surface and cause an explosion. the cause of accumulation is due to friction, friction occurs when the charges are been attracted to the surface.
Why do petrol tankers which run on the highways have metal chains attached that drag along the road?
The chain is supposed to get rid of any static electricity that builds up within the vehicle by directing it from the frame and tanks and into the ground or road. Preventing the buildup of static electricity will prevent the possibility of a spark occurring if somebody happens to touch the unit. We all know that gasoline is highly flammable, and its vapors are explosive, and the spark could provide an ignition source.
What are chainsaws chains made out of?
METAL !
Why do gas tankers use a dangling metal chain to protect?
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.
What were metal chains made out of in ancient Greece?
Iron.

What happens when chains rub against metal?

Is Alice In Chains Emo?
Alice in Chains are NOT emo. They are an alternative metal/grunge band from the 90's.
What is a good way to store metal chains outside?
Make sure the metal chains stay in a rain-proof area (for example, a dry place with a roof top to prevent rain from rusting the metal chain).
Is petrol a metal or not?
No petrol - from petroleum, also known as gasoline in the USA, is an organic liquid and not a metal.
