IVA fuel tank earthing

Looking at the IVA manual it says that metal fuel tanks need to be earthed and there doesn't look to be an obvious earthing point tag on the westfield tank and with the foam on the tank retaining strap it looks like the tank is pretty isoltaed from the chassis. Is the earthing provided through the fueal sender sufficient? ( provided I earth via one of the sender unit fixing bolts )

I can't see how any inspection could tell as the tank is fully enclosed but just in case (and in case I need to do something to make it really obvious that the tank is earthed)

cheers

Chris

Any tank to chassis connection works. The tank strap is bolted to the chassis, and you can run a wire from the sending unit plate to the chassis plate as well.
