Default Dissimilar metals in fuel tank

I'm in the process of building my fuel tanks. On the insiide I was
going to have stainless steel bolts going through the tank to hold to
an aluminum bracket. I really don't know much about the metal industry
but do remember that there can be a problem with dissimilar metals. Do
anyone know if this will be a problem, especially with the fuel?

What's the difference between active and passive stainless steel then ? How
can you tell the difference between the two for a given stainless steel
screw or bolt ?
