The tank is polyethylene, deck fill is polymer with built in vent for tank vent hose, typical fill hose connects the two.
Deck fill meets the new CARB and EPA requirements of U.S.C.G. Safety Standards (July 31, 2011) for 40 CFR Parts 9, 60, 80 et al. Control of Diurnal Emissions From Nonroad Spark-Ignition Engines and Equipment
Have not come across (yet) info on grounding this. Still going through the document from the link earlier. Have always read about grounding metal deck fills, but not polymer ones. There is no pre-existing grounding point in the deck fill.
Thoughts?....
From the USGS Fuel Systems pdf; "If the fuel tank deck fill fitting is nonmetallic, and nonconductive hose is used as a fill pipe, there is
no need for grounding the fill fitting. "(pg. 86)
But I will still have to run a ground from the fill spud/fitting as it is metal.
