When you refuel your PWC it is important to check for gas fumes. You check for fumes before starting the engine and after adding fuel.
The best way to check for gas fumes after fueling a personal watercraft (PWC) is to visually inspect the fuel tank and surrounding areas for any signs of leaks or spills. Additionally, you can smell around the fuel cap and engine compartment for any gasoline odors. If you detect any fumes, it's essential to ventilate the area and avoid starting the engine until the issue is resolved. Always ensure that the PWC is in a well-ventilated space while performing these checks.

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

You should check your Personal Watercraft (PWC) for gas fumes before each use, especially after it has been stored for a while. Inspect the engine compartment and any fuel lines for leaks or strong odors, as these can indicate potential hazards. Additionally, if you notice any unusual smells while operating the PWC, stop immediately and conduct a thorough check. Regular maintenance and checks can help ensure safety on the water.
