Tom - please don't attempt to lecture me on what the Code says, when you

So those millions of fuel oil tanks buried outside homes to provide
fuel for winter heat - all tanks are code violations? How curious
that electrical inspectors did not see them as code violations.
According to Doug Miller, all those fuel oil tanks are code violations
because a 6 AWG wire does not connect them to the breaker box. Doug -
you don't do this stuff, do you? You are assuming a layman's
interpretation of the word 'present'. A tank that meets paragraph
(A)(7) as an electrode also is not 'present' according to the code.

If word definitions were so obvious, then explain why a rope does
not bond two items together. Code says two items must be bonded.
They look bonded together to me. We cannot pull them apart.
Therefore they must be bonded - by a rope. Clearly that meets code
since the meaning of bonding is obvious to any layman. Or maybe words
have context. Obvious is that millions of household oil tanks are not
in code violation as you have just posted. Please learn the code
before lecturing others.
