General Guidelines For Fueling
Your
Yacht
Improper fueling procedures can cause boat
fi
res and explosions. It is imperative that the
following procedures be followed every time
you fuel your boat:
Leaking fuel is a fire and explosion
hazard; personal injury or death could
occur.
Before fueling, check the fuel system for
leaks and repair; replace any components
prior to fueling or starting your engines,
generator, or any electrical device.
If possible, fuel your boat during daylight
hours. Check fuel vents to assure the fuel
tanks are not over-
fi
lled. Fuel spills are
easier to detect when visibility is good.
In very warm weather, DO NOT “top off”
the fuel tanks, as the fuel will expand as it
heats up and spill out the vents.
Make sure you are using the correct fuel
type required by the engine manufacturer.
Using the wrong type of fuel will result in
severe damage to the engines.
Be sure to turn off all engines, the genera-
tor and all devices that could create a spark
prior to fueling. Battery switches should
also be shut off to prevent sparks from any
electrical device.
Disconnect shore power.
Extinguish all smoking materials and any
other items that may create a spark.
Completely close all doors, ports, hatches,
and windows; ask guests to leave the boat
during fueling.
Before fueling, touch the fuel nozzle to the
fuel
fi
ll cap to discharge any static electric-
ity. Open the designated
fi
ll pipe, insert the
nozzle while maintaining contact with the
side of the
fi
ll pipe.
After pumping several gallons, STOP.
Inspect engine and tank compartments for
any signs of leakage.
DO NOT continue fueling if leaks or the
smell of fuel are present. Contact a quali
fi
ed
technician to inspect your boat and repair it
before continuing to fuel.
If no leaks are noted, continue fueling
allowing for expansion in warmer weather.
Slow the
fl
ow as approaching full to avoid
over
fl
ow.
Once full, remove nozzle, replace
fi
ll cover
tightly, and clean up any spills.
After fueling has been completed, open all
hatches, doors, and compartments. Visu-
ally check all fuel
fi
ttings, lines, and tanks
for leakage, including engine and genera-
tor fuel lines. Immediately notify a quali
fi
ed
technician of any problems and correct them
before proceeding.
Turn main battery switches on to operate
bilge blower. Ventilate all bilges for at least
fi
ve minutes.
