I have a composite tank but I believe my fuel system is grounded
properly. I use a float indicator for my fuel level. The float is on a
metal rod in the tank. The fuel sender has both a signal wire and a
ground wire. The ground wire goes to the electrical ground bus and to
the engine.
If I attach the fuel system ground anywhere that connects to the engine,
the system should be grounded.
I would think many KRs have a similar set up?

My question would be how many gallon from empty before any fuel contacts
any "grounded" metal portion of the float assembly. Some float
assemblies have the float rod attached to a plastic arm. As to "many
KR's have a similar setup", many also have a fuel site tube. I'm
guessing that luck has more to do with the lack of refueling fires than
any amount of good engineering or refueling practices.
