FUELING
If possible, fill your boat’s fuel tank before loading
passengers and gear. If passengers are on board, have
them leave the boat until fueling is complete.
Do not use fuels containing any form of ethanol, alcohol or
alcohol derivatives. Alcohol destroys marine fuel system
hoses and components. Weakened hoses can lead to
hazardous leaks, fire or explosion. If only gasoline
containing alcohol is available, or the presence of alcohol
is unknown, you must inspect the system more frequently.
Inspect fuel system for leakage, weakening, hardening,
swelling or corrosion of components including fuel tanks,
fuel lines, fittings, fuel filters and carburetors. If any
component shows signs of leakage or deterioration, it must
be replaced before starting the engine.
Fuel vapors are explosive. Fuel leaking from any part of
the fuel system can lead to fire and explosion that can
cause serious bodily injury or death. Do not smoke,
extinguish all open flames, STOP all engines and other
devices that could cause sparks, including the bilge
blower (if provided). Do not use electrical switches or
accessories. Close all openings into enclosed areas.
