yep, ground the tank to the frame and the filler spout, at the spout end, to the frame as well. static kills.
ever been at the airport and seen a fuel truck? they ground everything. the vehicles sit on rubber, so insulated from the actual ground, so making a complete circuit from the filler to the tank is essential.
this is a step forgotten by most. good thinkiing on your part.
