No it’s not. Kerosene (jet fuel) is a combustible liquid, but not a flammable liquid at atmospheric temperature and below.A flammable liquid has a potentially explosive mixture in its vapor space that can be ignited with a a spark. A combustible liquid’s vapor space has not reached the lower explosive limit of fuel content. It cannot be ignited by a spark.Since the concern is with static discharge, which is a spark. There is no concern with an explosion or fire.Th concern can wait until the next scheduled maintenance or overhaul.
