To prevent static spark while filling your gas tank, always touch a metal part of your vehicle, such as the door frame, before handling the fuel nozzle to discharge any static electricity. Avoid wearing synthetic fabrics that can generate static. Additionally, keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the tank opening while dispensing to minimize static buildup. Finally, refrain from using your phone or other electronic devices during the refueling process.

Run a ground wire from the boat to the dock area!
When filling an outboard portable tank, ensure the tank is secure and on a flat surface to prevent spills. Use a funnel or spout to minimize the risk of overfilling and to avoid fuel splashes. Always fill the tank outdoors in a well-ventilated area and avoid static electricity by grounding the tank. Lastly, check for any leaks or damage before and after filling to ensure safety.

When filling the fuel tank of a gasoline-powered boat, always ensure the engine is turned off and avoid smoking or using any open flames nearby to prevent ignition. Use a proper fuel nozzle designed for marine use to minimize spills, and be cautious of static electricity by grounding the boat if possible. Additionally, fill the tank slowly to prevent overflow and allow for fuel expansion, ensuring the area is well-ventilated.
Maintain solid contact between the tank and the spout.
Gas tankers use a dangling metal chain to prevent static electricity build-up or discharge while filling the tank. This helps to reduce the risk of sparks igniting flammable gases or liquids.
