    I assume you are concerned with static electricity. If you can't drill holes in it to make it permanent, make a wire with battery clips on each end and attach one to the tank and the other to ground.

    that's the way we ground metal 55 gallon drums at work, the drums are filled with 180 or 190 proof alcohol. We only use a gallon or two at a time, so when your getting it, it has to be grounded. Ten gauge wire and two battery clips...

    Default static

    Believe me, I know about some of the effects of static electricity.I was a hydrogen pl;ant operator, and would always make sure I discharged myself from static. Thats why i am concerned about the plastic gas tank.
