Vessel Operation
BEFORE FUELING
Note: To be extra safe the skipper should follow
the procedures below for fueling gasoline. Gasoline
contains highly
fl
ammable/explosive characteristics
which need to be respected.
Make sure a working
fi
re extinguisher is at close
hand.
Stop engines while fueling.
Disembark all passengers and crew not needed for
fueling.
Fuel if possible during the daylight hours.
Check to ensure nobody is smoking in the boat or
near the fueling dock.
Close all enclosures to keep vapors from blowing
aboard and settling in the bilge.
Tie up your boat securely at the fuel dock.
Identify the fuel
fi
ll.
Visually inspect all fuel system components before
each
fi
lling.
DURING FUELING
Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the fuel
fi
ll to guard against static sparks. The fuel
fi
ll pipe is
grounded through the fuel system wiring to protect
against static
electricity.
Avoid over
fi
lling the fuel tank. Leave room for
expansion.
Avoid spilling any fuel. Clean up any fuel accidently
spilled with a clean rag and dispose of it on shore.
AFTER FUELING
Close all fuel
fi
ll openings tightly.
Open all hatches.
Sniff in the lower bilge and engine compartment for
diesel fumes. If fumes are detected
fi
nd the cause of the
diesel odor until the odor is gone. Look for any traces of
fuel droplets or spillage.
Do not start the engines, smoke or run any electri-
cal components until the fumes can no longer be
detected.
