The distinct smell associated with static electricity is caused by the release of ozone gas when electrical charges build up and discharge in the air.
Good static electricity: Used in electronics to remove dust from surfaces or in printing to make sure ink adheres properly. Bad static electricity: Causes annoying shocks, damage to electronic devices, and can be a fire hazard in certain environments like gas stations.
Static Shock, also known as Virgil Hawkins, gained his electromagnetic powers through exposure to a mutagenic gas during a gang fight. This gas, known as the "Big Bang," granted him the ability to control and manipulate electricity, which he uses to fight crime and protect his community.

To eliminate any static charge from your body thus preventing a spark that might ignite fuel vapor.
More info would help such as model and year of vehicle but start with checking the fuses and fuel pump relay.
I was having that problem until the gas station attendant told me to put the nozzle in all the way and then pull it back about 1 inch , I don't have any problem now
You can be smart about electricity and gas. If you really do not need to drive, then don't!
