Center Fill Fuel Tank - Ground?

I've bolted in my tank, all new lines, pump etc. My question is: Does the tank require being grounded to the car?

If you have bolted it to the chassis resulting in metal to metal contact - not painted surfaces - then it is grounded. Your metal chassis is also electrical ground for your car.

The tank has new paint as does the trunk. The tank perimeter seal is new as well. I think I'll just run a ground wire off the spare tire stud to the body. (went to the diagram and found there is a ground from the filler neck to body)
