You touch the car body first, while turning away from it, and then NOT
step (stay in the position you were in when you touched the body). If you
work with flammable liquids you should do this anyway. Gasoline is not
considered very flammable. Just try shortcuts wrt. static protection near
anything that contains ether or acetylene or hydrogen or ....

I knew someone who destroyed his car alarm and/or ecu by stepping into the
car on a dry day. The alarm had wires hanging out of it (it was being
worked on).
