I only recently ran across anything relating to electrical bonding of non-conductive fuel tanks. After doing some background, I am convinced that operating fuel trucks and airplanes and fueling said airplanes can drop a substantial charge on the surface of the fuel. We ground our metal airplanes when we fuel them, but our largely dielectric composite airplanes won't bleed much charge by clamping the ground wire to the engine...
So, among you guys with fiberglass tanks, have you installed bonding/grounding in the tanks? Those of you who did install bonding/grounding, how did you do it?
I have some ideas, but field knowledge is way more important to me than theory, which can take a guy way off track if he is not careful.
