In the review of crashes and wrecks of large tankers having occurred during last decades the fires and explosions connected with washing of emptied tanks are distinguished as a particular type of accidents. As a rule, they are provoked by charges of static electricity. Inquiry of explosion in tanker «Magas» (in 2000) allows to display and analyze in details circumstances and sources of this type of wrecks.
