4. Do not allow equipment or gear to contact fuel-system components.
Monitor side storage areas where
fi
ll and vent hoses are often located.
5. Do not store portable fuel tanks in enclosed areas, including the en-
gine room compartment (even though it may be “ventilated”).
6. If your boat is equipped with a ventilation system, ensure that all blow-
ers and hoses are operational and intact. Verify good air
fl
ow at the vent
located on the boat.
7. Take a boating safety course and learn the correct type and use of a
fi
re extinguisher aboard a boat.
Each Trip
• Before starting the engine “sniff” your bilges. Getting down on your hand
and knees and using your nose is the best fuel/vapor detector.
• Operate the bilge blower for AT LEAST FOUR MINUTES before start-
ing an inboard or sterndrive engine. If you still smell fumes, try to locate
the source and make repairs before starting the engine.
• Make sure all passengers know where to
fi
nd your
fi
re extinguishers
and how to operate them.
• Before refueling, close all hatches, ports and other openings; shut off
engines, motors, pumps and blowers; and DO NOT SMOKE. Fill all por-
table tanks on the dock.
• After refueling, wipe up or wash off any excess or spilled fuel; open all
hatches and ports; and let the boat air out. “Sniff” your bilges. Operate the
bilge blower for AT LEAST FOUR MINUTES before starting an inboard
or sterndrive engine.
• On a boat with portable fuel tanks, make sure the vents can be closed
and the tanks have a vapor-tight, leak-proof cap. The vent on a portable
tank should be open when the motor is running. When the portable tank
is not in use, the vent and the cap should be tightly closed.
Important: Do not operate your boat until the source of a fuel leak is
identifi ed. Have a qualifi ed service technician correct the condition.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO INSPECT FOR LEAKS.
At Least Annually:
(Performed by a quali
fi
ed marine technician)
• Replace fuel system components if any evidence of cracking, corrosion
or deterioration is found.
• Inspect fuel tanks annually. Pay particular attention to bottom surfaces
that may have contacted bilge water. Also, check to see if any part of the
tank is corroded or damaged from rubbing and abrasion. Permanently
installed fuel tanks must be vented to the atmosphere outside the boat.
Closed compartments that contain fuel tanks and engines or non-ignition
protected electrical components must be ventilated.
• Be sure the
fi
ll pipe is securely mounted, grounded and located where
spilled fuel is directed overboard. Dry and cracked or soft and mushy fuel
fi
ll hoses should be replaced immediately.
• If your boat is equipped with bilge blowers, ensure they are working
properly.
• Ensure heating and cooking appliances on board are secured and oper-
ate properly. Refer to the appliance owner’s manual for guidance on in-
specting for leaks in valves and connections. NEVER USE A MATCH to
inspect for leaks.
• Ensure
fl
ammable items are stowed safely and cannot contact cooking
or heating appliances or hot engine parts.
