The filler neck needs to be grounded, because while it is not grounded it is a point of static electricity conduction. Placing a fuel hose into the neck creates the loop, and we have fuel vapour right at the point of the spark path.
All late model cars with plastic tanks have a ground strap at the filler neck.
Some cars I have worked on needed to have a strap added as a rework.
