now that I think about it I may have hooked up the grounding wire to the back of one of the mounting bolts/screws.

FEDERAL LAW
183.572 - Grounding
Each metallic component of the fuel fill system and fuel tank which is in contact with fuel must be statically grounded so that the resistance between the ground and each metallic component of the fuel fill system and fuel tank is less than 100 ohms.
I grounded mine to my ground bar in the Cuddy ...

Just wrap wire a few turns around the hose and bend the stripped edge over and into the hose and slip in the fill neck and double clamp it down and you are grounded.

I would spend the money and get an all stainless one. Plastic has a way of falling apart in time in the sun and salt air. I bonded/grounded mine to the backside of one of the mounting bolts. I have a 10 gauge wire running to the bonding tab on the tank and another run to the negative buss bar.
