What type of fire extinguishers should be onboard a vessel with a permanently installed fuel tank?

Usually one or more USCG-approved Class B-I or B-II are required. According to US Coast Guard regulations (46 CFR 25.30): At least one USCG-approved Class B-1 fire extinguisher is required on any powerboat with a permanently installed fuel tank. A UL-listed 5-B:C extinguisher, with 2 pounds of dry chemical, may provide the basis for the extinguisher, but it must ALSO conform to USCG-approvals (proper corrosion protection, labeling, mounting bracket, etc). A 4-pound CO2 extinguisher or 6 quarts foam extinguisher may also be rated for USCG B-1 service. Powerboats over 26 feet may require additional extinguishers, as detailed in the related questions. Up to 26 feet: one B-I extinguisher; Over 26 but under 40 feet: two B-I extinguishers; Over 40 feet but not over 65 feet: three B-I. Note that two B-I extinguishers may be substituted for a B-II extinguisher. NOTE: When a fixed fire extinguisher system is installed in the machinery space(s), it will replace one B-1 type portable extinguisher.
