Default It shouldn't damage anything, but I think it's a safety issue.
I know that there are a small group of people who die every year because of static electricity igniting the fuel. Not sure if these are related, but that would be my guess.

also, you'll trigger a DTC and get a MIL like when your gas cap isn't screwed on tight enough.
