Yes, when petrol flows through pipes, it can generate static electricity due to friction between the fuel and the pipe walls. This static charge can potentially lead to a spark that could ignite the petrol. To prevent this, measures such as grounding the pipes or using anti-static additives in the fuel are commonly implemented.

Just like how paint flows on our canvas, petrol flows through the car's system to keep us moving forward on our own unique path.
