You should turn a Personal Watercraft's (PWC) fuel selector switch to the Reserve position when you notice that the fuel level is low and you want to access the remaining fuel in the reserve tank. This is typically done when the main fuel supply is nearly depleted, allowing you to continue operating the PWC until you can refuel. It's important to monitor fuel levels regularly to avoid running out of gas completely. Always consult your PWC's owner manual for specific guidance on fuel management.
I believe you mean "Reserve", which is usually a fuel pickup located lower in the tank, to give you some extra gas in the event that you run out in the normal position.
When refueling a personal watercraft (PWC), you should always check for fumes before and during the refueling process. This includes sniffing for fuel vapors around the fuel tank and the fuel line, as well as ensuring the area is well-ventilated. If you detect any fuel odors, you should stop refueling immediately and address the issue before continuing. Additionally, it’s important to avoid smoking or using any open flames near the refueling area to prevent fire hazards.
The safety feature that was designed into PWC fuel tanks was to leave space for the fuel to expand.

Check the entire fuel system for leaksCheck connections frequently. Motor vibrations and rough water may loosen connectionsAvoid spills when fueling in or near the waterAfter fueling, open the door of the engine compartment and sniff to check for any evidence of gas fumes. Do this before starting the engine. If you do smell gas fumes, determine the source and make repairs immediatelyDo not tip the PWC to "fill all the way up". The tank provides for fuel expansion; if tank is over-filled, gasoline may expand and spill into the water
