Answer / moti rgpv
THE BODY OF FULE TANK IS DIRECTLY CONTACT WITH AIR . THIS
AIR INCREASE THE IONAITION LAVEL OF TANK.SO THERE WERE
CHANCE OF ACCEDENT.
TO DECREASE THE ION ON BOADY IT SHOULD EARTH

Answer / umesh medhavale
Static current develope on tank surface due to fluid
friction with wall of tank and other means, to dischage
that charge we earthed fuel tank to avoid any accidend as
per safety purpose

Answer / rahul
guyz tis is a 10th standard qs....static electricity
develops inside a fuel tank due to fluid friction....this
electricity if not drained out may trigger an
explosion....so a metal chain is kept dangling 4m d fuel
tank 2 gnd so tat the charge gets discharged to earth.

Answer / manohar v. tawade
All in one is the reason for discharging static energy.
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 7 Yes | 0 No |
Answer / amit
THE FUEL TANK IS VERY LARGE AND DENSITY OF SAME IS
RELATIVELY LESSER THAN ANY OTHER WHICH MEANS THAT HIGHLY
POTENTIAL ENERGY EXIST IN EVERY SMALL PART OF IT SO FOR
SUPPORT AND EASY DISCHARGE
