[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 4039, member: 7"] OK, I'll try and answer as best I can then. yes, petrol station forecourts have their own regs and prohibitions, many moons ago I used to have a petrochem cert that allowed me to work in these ares, I would suspect that if nowadays you dont have this cert or the equivalent then no matter what organisation you belong to no one would stand by your workmanship and I would very much doubt your insurance company would either. if I remember correctly nothing could simply be just wired, umbilical or not, when we did pumps canopy lights etc all was in pyro, 3core with secondary earth, the sheath was simply a ground to prevent static. etc. I would be pretty certain that your umbilical would be treated the same, requires a static ground, no matter what material it is made of, remember that nylon is none metallic and still produces static. short answer, if you need to ask the question then stay away from it. PETROCHEM is HAZARDOUS, and has its own set of rules. [/QUOTE]
