So I believe I have voltage leak in my tank because I put my hand in and got a nice jolt. I believe I found the offending pump and unplugged it, but I am a bit nervous to put my hand back in there to test again. 1) How do I test to make sure that I won't shock myself again and 2) I thought they made grounding devices that prevent this. Any help you can offer would be appreciate!
 
Check out this video on how to measure stray voltage in your tank



Grounding probes have been recommended in many threads to protect the owner.
 
Just use your hand again. if it didn't kill you the first time......lol. jk, use a volt meter.
