Electrostatic charge control for in-tank fuel module components

A fuel module comprising:

• a conductive fuel module component;
• a conductor adapted to be in conductive contact with a ground plane;
• a conductive connection blade having a knife edge, said conductive connection blade is in conductive contact with said conductive fuel module component, said knife edge makes conductive contact with said conductor;
• and
• an insulation covering said conductor immediately axially adjacent to said knife edge.

A method of dissipating electrostatic charge comprising the steps of:

• providing a conductive fuel module component defining a blade receptacle;
• providing a conductor covered by insulation;
• providing a conductive connection blade having a knife edge;
• electrically connecting said conductor to a ground plane;
• inserting said conductor covered by insulation into said blade receptacle;
• sliding said connection blade in said blade receptacle such that said knife edge cuts through said insulation to allow said knife edge to contact said conductor.
