Always dispose of oily shop cloths in an enclosed container to prevent a fire. SEE FIGURE 1-69. Whenever oily cloths are thrown together on the floor or workbench, a chemical reaction can occur, which can ignite the cloth even without an open flame. This process of ignition without an open flame is called spontaneous combustion A customer complained that after driving for a while, he got a static shock whenever he grabbed the door handle when exiting the vehicle. The customer thought that there must be an electrical fault and that the shock was coming from the vehicle itself. In a way, the shock was caused by the vehicle, but it was not a fault. The service technician sprayed the cloth seats with an anti-static spray and the problem did not reoccur. Obviously, a static charge was being created by the movement of the driver's clothing on the seats and discharged when the driver touched the metal door handle"--
