fuel pump ground wire
In changing my fuel filter (`09 RG) I noticed a ground wire that doesn`t seem to connect to anything. It is next to the fuel filler neck. Any clue to it`s purpose? I would think it might have to do with static charge but don`t understand how it works without direct contact to anything. It is a single black wire opposite the fuel pump plug and they are removed when changing the filter. I am regarding the filler neck as a non-conductor being it`s plastic.

Guess my wording led to misinterpretation. The wire branches off the main plug at the fuel pump. Then it anchors into a spot next to the filler neck. When removing the fuel pump assembly to change the F/F the plug and ground wire are removed from their respective spots to facilitate replacement of F/F. The black wire doesnt touch anything but the plastic. Must have to do with preventing a static spark when filling tank with fuel?
