Re: 68 longbed 5.3/4l60e

THe ground wire on the fuel filler is there because the filler tube is mounted in plastic, and the tube is hooked to a rubber hose, neither are good conductors of electricity, so they put a ground strap to the body static electricity from blowing things up while fueling. Rare, sure, but stranger things have happened. I would ground it if it were mine, would take about a minute to do, so why chance it?
