: I am building the Cabin Skiff and have acquired a fifteen gal. fuel tank. It has a fuel sending unit for a dash mounted fuel gauge and a tab welded on the tank itself. I presume the tab is to ground the tank. My question is: Is it neccessary to ground the tank and if so where do you ground it to? Also, I would like to put some rubber (cut up tire tube) under the tank to prevent chafing and maybe insulate the tank to keep the temperature more constant so as to cut down on water condensate. Any comments or suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance...
