All the flanges in the liquid hydrocarbon service like ATF should be suitably fitted with connection strips to ensure continuity along the pipelines.

No. Any tankage with any vapor space must be appropriately grounded to dissipate any static electricity as the vapor space will likely be above LEL.
Many refiners inject anti-static agent PRIST(only FAA Approved)into rundown lines of turbine fuel to prevent static charge accumulation.
