Figure 1 shows a fuel tanker delivering petrol to an underground storage tank at a petrol station.

Diagram showing a road tanker transferring petrol through a hose into an underground storage tank. A thick copper wire connects the metal nozzle of the hose and the tanker chassis to an earthing rod driven deep into the ground.

Explain why delivering petrol in this way can be highly dangerous and how connecting a copper earthing wire between the tanker and the storage system prevents these hazards.
