Abstract: In this paper, static generation form and distribution law during the fuel oil handling are described. Based on human factors, handling operation environment, oil physicochemical properties and other factors that easily cause static electricity fires, static elimination techniques and protective measures are proposed, such as grounding, increase of air humidity, addition of antistatic additives, control of liquid velocity and improvement of operating environment ventilation, thus providing theoretical basis and technical supports to the evaluation of fuel oil tank safety and development of static elimination methods.
