yes it does and yes I have seen it burn down many homes over the years.
also have seen vacuum systems with plastic pipes ignite.
the only way to stop static electricity from igniting in plastc pipes is
to install a bare copper wire in the pipes grounded to the unit and
grounded to each tool.

do not try to dis-credit my knowledge
for what I say is factual.

watch myth busters
haven't you seen that episode?
the static electricity that is on your clothes from sliding off fabric
seats causes static electricity to ignite the gasoline fumes while
pumping gas.
and yes it did catch fire.
