I'm confused. My car has a clear plastic fuel hose from the tank to the filler, but it also has four rubber tires that keep it isolated from "ground". The spark that burns your ride down is caused when the charge built up in your car attempts to equal the grounded fuel pump's charge (zero). It seems to me that the safest way to ground the filler is a wire to the frame with a large resistor inline to slow down the charge's drain to ground. Or am I just full of it and it's too early in the morning??
