Fuel System Section 3
Static Electricity
A discharge of static electricity can ignite gasoline
vapor that has accumulated during the fueling pro-
cess. Use extreme caution when fueling your boat
under unusual circumstances such as when the boat
is suspended in a boatlift.
Your boat has important safety features and systems
that can be defeated by not following standard fueling
practices. Under normal conditions, your boat’s bond-
ing system protects it from accumulating and discharg-
ing static electricity.
Here are some important guidelines to protect you
from static electricity discharge while fueling:
• Always keep your boat in continuous contact with
the water or a land-based grounding system dur-
ing fueling.
• Always keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the
deck fill plate or the edge of the fuel tank opening
during the fueling process. This contact must be
continuously maintained until fuel flow has
stopped.
• Never fuel your boat under unsafe conditions that
could increase the possibility of creating static
electricity.
• Only fill portable tanks while on land, never on-
board the boat.
• Never use homemade containers as a source to
fill your fuel tanks.
• Only carry fuel on-board in a UL-approved con-
tainer or in a portable tank such as provided with
outboard engines.
• Never store these portable tanks in living, engine,
or mechanical spaces.
