Sport Boat
Stop all engines, motors and fans before refueling.
DO NOT smoke or allow open flames or sparks nearby, within 15 m (50 ft)
of the fueling area.
If equipped, close all doors, windows, hatches and ports that could allow
fuel vapors to enter the boat’s enclosed spaces.
DO NOT overfill the fuel tanks. Allow for at least a 2% expansion of fuel
when refueling. If the fuel temperature is 0°C (32°F) or lower, allow at least
6% for expansion of fuel.
Static Electricity Hazard
An electrostatic spark can ignite fuel vapors causing serious injury and
property damage. Use extreme caution when filling the fuel system. In
addition:
• Refuel only at approved venues such as marina fuel docks or
automotive fuel service stations. Approved venues have safeguards in
place to lessen the likelihood of static discharge.
• Read and follow ALL warnings on the pump or in the vicinity of the
pump.
• Maintain contact between the fuel nozzle and the fill pipe at all times,
before and during refueling, to prevent an electrostatic spark.
• DO NOT re-enter your vehicle during refueling. Getting into and out of
your vehicle might build up a static charge that could ignite the fumes at
the fill pipe.
If a fire occurs, don't panic.
• DO NOT remove the nozzle from the gas tank.
• Evacuate all passengers from the vehicle and refueling area and
immediately tell the station attendant so they can use the emergency
shut-off and fire extinguisher.
