Citing your dad's job is a wild way to claim expertise.
I question your ability as an engineer if you can't understand how to shield something from static electricity. Hint: use non-conducive material to create an isolated ground that never makes contact with the gasoline, they've been doing it for all kinds of sensitive electronics for decades. This technique is also used to prevent your metal kitchen mixer from killing you if there's a short.
Am I "the expert" in this domain? No. Do I have plenty of exposure to it and other engineering disciplines to make a judgement call on the facts; absolutely.
Watch out entire industry that's been operating for more than a century, Dark Arc's dad is an engineer and he has correctly interpreted the facts you can't even seem to grasp.
Quick, now do perpetual motion! Those simpletons have barely even tried.
Not that this will mean anything to you, but this feels a lot like when someone says "why don't we just run lean so we save fuel?".

Thank you for your concern for my safety. I'm not interested.
My advice to you is, if you're worried about this, never get in a car again.
