That's funny Chris...I had a tech guy tell me the same thing one time! We just ended up grounding it so he felt better inside. lol!

i guess bolting it directly to the chassis isn't a good ground, lol

Heartland Park, and KCIR made a big deal about the cell not being grounded. I asked why, and it was because there is a gasket between the fill opening and the tank? The fill opening and the tank are bolted together, but whatever. I now have a ground wire so that they feel better!

I completely understand if it is a plastic cell but not an aluminum one.

Is there an advantage on aluminum cell vs. the plastic? Just curious
