Grounding plastic fuel cells

I am putting a plastic fuel cell in my 67's bed. Everything i read says to properly ground it. How do you ground a plastic fuel cell? It has an alunimum neck bolted on. I could ground one of the mounting bolts. The sending unit is grounded. I cant think of anything else. Any ideas?

yes run a ground from one of the mounting bolts it will prevent static sparks while fulling.
