Hey Everyone,
Need some advice on grounding the fuel system, I've installed a 12 gal aluminum tank in my Traveler TX 170 which is aluminum. Did I foul out by installing an Aluminum tank in a aluminum boat? Tanks painted and I've added the 1/4 neoprene strips to the bottom and sides of the tank and used aluminum rivets to anchor in the compartment the floor in the compartment is aluminum, also has a SS filler neck with vent and new marine hoses 1-1/2 for the fill and 5/8 vent, 3/8 fuel. So I'm finishing up the fuel system and got stumped with the grounding issues. I understand that all the components tank/filler neck/sending unit have to be grounded, can this be one black ground wire say 12 gauge marine grade tinned wire daisy chained from the filler neck to the tank to the sending unit then to the negative battery block or does each item need it own ground wire to the negative battery block. No grounding to the hull for any reason correct. I have a pic of what the install looks like, Hey any advice or help please! If I need to change anything now is the time!
