Static Electricity and the Fuel System
Fuel System
There is a danger that static electricity can ignite gasoline
vapors that have not been ventilated outside an enclosed
area. Use extreme caution when fueling your boat from
a source outside the regular venues, (e.g. marinas, fuel
service stations.)
Your boat has safety features that can be circumvented
by not adhering to standard fueling practices.
Your boats bonding system protects it from creating and
discharging static electricity.
Your boat must be in contact with the water or a land based
grounding system. Here are some helpful suggestions to
keep you safe from static electricity while refueling your
boat.
• NEVER fuel your boat in unsafe conditions
such as: suspended on a sling or in a
situation that increases the likelihood of
static
discharge.
• NEVER use homemade containers to fi ll
your fuel tanks.
• Fuel carried on-board outside of a fi xed
fuel system should be stored in an approved
container or in a portable tank such as provided
for outboard engines and be stowed safely
outside of the engine or living
compartment(s).
• Shut down the engine(s), motors and fans.
Any ignition sources should be
extinguished
before
fi lling the fuel tank(s).
• Close all ports, windows, doors and
hatches.
• N E V E R f u e l a t n i g h t , e x c e p t i n
well-lighted areas.
• Always keep the fuel nozzle in contact with
the
fuel
fi ll plate or the edge of the fuel
tank opening throughout the fi lling process.
The fuel cap contains an integrated vent which serves as
a pressure/vacuum release and prevents fuel overflow.
