Safe boat refueling practices include ensuring the boat is anchored or docked securely, turning off all engines and electrical equipment, and avoiding smoking or open flames nearby. Use a proper fuel nozzle to minimize spills, and always keep a fire extinguisher on board. Additionally, it’s important to monitor the refueling process closely and to fill the tank slowly to prevent overfilling, allowing for fuel expansion. Finally, check for leaks and ensure proper ventilation to disperse any vapors after refueling.
On gasoline powered boats, the blower should be operated after refueling and before starting the engine.
