Better ground the whole system to the earth while
you're at it.  I have simply used a barrel pump to
return the fuel to the plane through a strainered
metal funnel.

Using a bucket to empty gas from a wing is a death
wish.  I know of three
bucket disasters--one burned down a whole hanger
complex, and another
burned and killed  two Rockford brothers (City
Firemen, no less!) who were
carrying a bucket of gas from an auto gas tank.  The
third was a local guy
