An abraded wire detection system (“AWDS”) for detecting an abrasion on a wire in a fuel tank is disclosed. The AWDS includes an electrode on the fuel tank, a power source, and a current sensor in electrical series with the power source, wire, and the electrode. The current sensor includes circuitry that detects a current from the wire to the electrode. Additionally disclosed is an aircraft having a fuel tank, a wire within the fuel tank, and the AWDS.
