[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 406314, member: 6937"] I've always been told to keep the nozzle in contact with the fill neck of a fuel tank while filling to prevent build-up of static charge. As for grounding the tank, as long as you run a wire from the clip on the fuel sending unit to a surface anywhere on the boat, the tank will be grounded, because the negative connection from the battery is made to the boat when the motor is bolted to the transom.
