An abraded wire detection system 'AWDS' (104) for detecting an abrasion (226) on a wire (218) in a fuel tank (102) is disclosed. The AWDS (104) includes an electrode (208) on the fuel tank (102), a power source (200), and a current sensor (202) in electrical series with the power source (200), wire (218), and the electrode (208). The current sensor (202) includes circuitry that detects a current from the wire (218) to the electrode (208). Additionally disclosed is an aircraft (100) having a fuel tank (102), a wire (218) within the fuel tank (102), and the AWDS (104).
