Yea, when i install the tank tomorrow, ill run a wire over to the ground of the tank. I have to redrill my filler neck holes anyway, so one will have a nut on the end where i can put it!

It wouldn't happen out on the lake, it would happen when you refuel. Same reason why aircraft are grounded three ways during refueling operations.
BL: cheap insurance to run a new wire. |

Thats what my dad said. So we will run a new wire to the ground for the tank, this way, we cant die out on the lake!

I took my tank out to replace all of my exhaust hoses. I found a small yellow wire stuck in the filler neck hose. Does my filler neck need to be grounded to the tank?
