The gas filler caps on these cars are grounded assuming they have metal bodies. The gas inlet/filler is bolted to the body so there is no need for a separate ground wire. My Cobra has a fiber glass body, hence I grounded the filler cap to the metal frame. It may or may not be necessary but I figured, what the heck?
I have worked with flammable chemicals for over 40 years. All tank trucks must absolutely be properly grounded before loading or unloading to avoid the chance of a static spark igniting the product.
