Abstract

A container for flammable fluid has an insulating plastic container body, metallic structural handle parts carried on the plastic container, a delivery port, and a metallic screen flame arrestor positioned across the delivery port. In accordance with this invention, an insert is sealed within the plastic container body in contact with both the structural handle member parts and the screen flame arrestor. The insert comprises an electrically conductive mixture of a plastic which is sealingly compatible with the plastic of the container body, and a finely divided, electrically conductive material. Accordingly, differences in static electric potential between the screen flame barrier and the structural handle member parts may be minimized to eliminate static electric sparks.
