Fuel Tank Ground?

[Dv8oR]

My uncle had to have a boat surveyed for insurance and part of the survey was checking fuel tank ground. He said it was a good idea to have it done annually.

Am I thinking of this right when I'm thinking, just making sure it has its ground and the cable isn't green weenied/corroded????

If it has a metal tank you can check it with an ohm meter pretty easy.

Well that makes sense!
He has an aluminum hull, mines glass.

Can you have a metal tank in a glass boat?

What can happen if the ground is no good?

I have the original owners manual for my 86 boat and says nothing about it in there. (I'm kind of an owners manual freak)
