ABSTRACT:
Charge accumulation inhibitor (100) in FIG. 2 of fuel filler pipe (200) prevents an accumulation of a portion of electrical charge that a conductor such as cap flange retainer (302) or a fuel dispending metallic spout may otherwise, in absence of inhibitor 100 or grounding of the spout, acquire. Inhibitor (100) is made of semi conductive material such as a nylon 12 filled with conductive particulate to yield a volume of resistivity of between about 1.times.10.sup.2 -1.times.10.sup.5 ohm-centimeters.
