Hey all,

Just a note in my defense.  My intent was not to cry wolf, or be anal about
the grounding of the fuel tank/cap issue.  The original post was defining
the need to 'ground' the aircraft in case of a potential static buildup.  My
point was that it is important to make sure that the potential between the
fuel source and the aircraft is neutralized.....nothing more.  "Grounding"
the aircraft is not important in reference to providing a path from the
aircraft to "true" ground.  But it is important to "ground" or neutralize
the potential between the fuel source and the fuel tank.

Enough said.......whether someone wants to get anal or think that it is anal
to consider this is totally a personal choice and opinion.  Do what you
think is best.
