Where does this connect (ground strap)
 
1 Attachment(s)
Was outside playing with my junk today and noticed a broken off ground strap by the driver gas tank, truck has dual tanks. Where does this go, and how many ground stamps am I supposed to have.
Also sidebar does anyone have duel tank wiring diagram for an '84 c10.

As always thanks in advance! It is greatly appreciated!


Info:
'84 c10 350/th350 (dual tanks currently running a electric fuel pump out of passenger tank.)

Looks like the fuel neck filler strap

It is suppose to be connected to the rear side of your filler neck fitting the one your gas cap actually screws in to when your done filling up.

It's pretty important it's job it to provide a path to ground to shed any static electricity so you don't blow your self and anyone else up.

I have re-attached one of those by drilling out the hole on the filler neck slightly and using a bolt/lock washer/nut and it was very secure.
