TO PREVENT UNWARRANTED ENGINE DAMAGE, REFER TO YOUR PROPULSION
UNIT OPERATOR’S MANUALS FOR RECOMMENDED FUEL TYPE AND OCTANE RATING.
WHEN FUELING:
1. Know your fuel tank capacity. Be sure to have enough fuel to reach your
destination. If departing for an extended cruise, know the availability of fuel along
your route. Practice the One Third Rule; 1/3 to reach the destination, 1/3 to return
and 1/3 in reserve.
2. Avoid fueling at night, except under well-lighted conditions.
3. Moor your boat securely to the dock. Know the location of the fire extinguisher in
case of emergency.
4. Keep accurate records of your fuel consumption. A fuel log tracking fuel use over
time will help determine average consumption.
5. Close all doors, hatches, windows and other compartments.
6. Extinguish cigarettes, pipes, and all other flame producing items.
7. Make sure all power is off, and do not operate any
electrical switches.
8. Remove the fuel fill cap using the fuel cap key supplied
with your boat.
9. Insert the hose nozzle and make sure nozzle is in contact
with or grounded against fill opening. This will reduce the
risk of static spark.
10. Add fuel in accordance with the propulsion unit operator’s manual. Do not overfill,
and allow enough room for fuel expansion.
•
Each time you refuel, inspect all fuel lines, hoses and connections for leaks and deterioration.
•
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act prohibits the discharge of oil or oily waste into the water. Violators
can be fined $5,000.00. We urge you to protect our fragile environment by avoiding any type of discharge,
trash or litter into our waterways.
AFTER FUELING:
1. Tighten the fuel fill cap using the fuel cap key. Wipe up any fuel spillage.
2. Open all windows, hatches, doors and compartments.
3. Check all fuel lines, hoses and connections for leaks and deterioration.
4. Be sure to run the blower for at least four minutes before starting the engines. If you
smell gasoline fumes, do not start the engines; continue to run the blower until
fumes have dissipated.
