I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, the plastic has carbon in it.

1. Carbon powder is injected into the Mr. Funnel plastic so that Mr.
Funnel will conduct static electricity (not applicable to colored F1Cs).
Grounding is an important safety feature. Always ground Mr. Funnel by Smart

Now that makes a whole lot of sense, causing grounding of the Mr Funnel to be HIGHLY EFFECTIVE as it will now CONDUCT electricity instead of only storing it like uncarbonized plastic..... such as our 5 and 6 gal red plastic containers. It seems that they too, should be carbonized.........why aren't they? Of course this would make Grounding HIGHLY EFFECTIVE instead of possibly effective.

The carbon in the MR Funnel is good and bad... If you ground it, it will not build up a static charge, and that is great. If you do not ground the MR Funnel, it will be much more likely have the same static charge that your red plastic gas jug has and to spark to a metal filling nozzle at the gas station.
As posted in the first thread about the fire, if there is metal ( or carbon ) for a metal nozzle to spark to, you are more likely to get a nice fire causing spark out of it than just by filling into a plastic can.
