Before fueling your boat, ensure that the engine is turned off and all electrical equipment is powered down to prevent any sparks. Check for any fuel leaks and ensure that the area is well-ventilated. Additionally, make sure to have proper spill containment measures in place and use a fuel nozzle with a vapor recovery system if available. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for fueling procedures.
There are a number of things that you should do before and while fuelling your boat. The basic thing is to ensure that you have turned off the engine and you are not smoking around the boat.

Before you begin fueling your boat, you should make sure your fire extinguisher is within reach. This is a basic safety precaution. It is also best to fuel your boat on a ramp rather than in the water.
