Diesel Fuel tank grounding?

[Maine Sail]

The fuel fill hose, deck fitting to tank, should be "wired". A wire is integral to the hose construction so it is connected top and bottom making a contiguous electrical path.

The hose wire should not be used for this purpose. A simple green wire tied to the metal fitting or to one of the bolts that secures it than down to the tanks "grounding tab" is the preferred method.
