[Healeys] BN2 Fuel Tank

[Mark Donaldson]

The petrol tank is earthed by the feed pipe to the fuel pump, and all the
way to the engine at numerous points.

An earth wire from one of the sender screws to the somewhere on the body is
a good idea to make sure tank is earthed.

At some point, however, the tank must have metal to metal contact somewhere
to prevent static charge build up and also to make sure the gas guage works.

Get some reinforced rubber stock--places like Orchard Supply (maybe Lowe's,
HD, etc.) sell it--and put a couple strips front to back to level the tank
and keep it off the boot pan.

BTW, if the tank hold-down straps have evenly-spaced holes they're for
copper rivets to hold a thick canvas-like padding.  You don't want the
straps rubbing against the tank either (substitute rubber if you like).
