You will find, if you cut the hose, that it has a flexable metal liner or
other conductive material that connects from one end to the other. The
hose, itself, could be a conductive material. However, you will probably
find a metal liner.
Gasoline is an insulator. Flowing gasoline inside an insulated hose is
dangerous because static charges can build up from the motion.
Get your ohm meter out. Measure the resistance from the pump to the nozzle.
It is REQUIRED by safety laws to be less than a megaohm. It is probably
MUCH less.

True. Of course, over estimating ones limitations may keep one from doing
all that one is capable of doing.
