Ron,
Try to refuel with metal cans rather than plastic. (Tough to
find) I bonded my whole system to a common point that extends with a
metal tab below the fuselage next to the fuel drains. This way I can
hook up a grounding strap and the whole fuel system is ground potential.
My fuel entrance fitting that the cap goes into is grounded to the
outlets at the tank and to the ground in the electrical system. You can
ground the fuel system in the bottom of the tank by using the aluminum
fittings that provide sump drains. The redux will provide an electrical
pathway so the copper lines that go deep into the tank can pull static
out. Use a small screw clamp to hold a wire onto the fitting on each
side. These should go to a common point for bonding. I also put in a
braided cable from the entrance down through the plastic tubing into the
tank all hooked together at one point. Ta Da. !! I think its the best
you can do with our plastic airplane.
