There is provided a method for mitigating static discharge in a fuel container. The method provides a static dissipative coating having a volume resistivity of 1.0&#xd7;10&#x3a9;-m (ohm-meter) or less when measured at 40 V (volts) or less, having a surface resistivity of 1.0&#xd7;10&#x3a9;/sq (ohm per square) or less when measured at 100 V (volts) or less, having a breakdown voltage of 4000 V (volts) or less, and having a charge decay of 60 seconds or less. The method further provides applying the static dissipative coating to a surface of the fuel container to form a coated surface.
