My procedure in the past was before opening the cap I'd place my hand
flat on the wing near the cap and "THEN" hold the metal nozzle of
the filler hose.

That should have read " place my hand flat on the wing near the cap
"WHILE" holding the metal nozzle of the filler hose. Not one then the
other, both at the same time to dissipate any charge differential.
Anyone questioning if the body can conduct and dissipate a charge has
never walked across a carpeted room and gotten zapped by the door knob.
Many years ago my wife destroyed the $100 tuner on the old t.v. set when
she walked across the room and touched the knob. Maganavox made
replacement knobs entirely out of plastic. I'm guessing we weren't the
only customers to experience that problem.
