When refueling your boat, it's essential to turn on the power ventilation system to help disperse any potentially harmful fuel vapors that may accumulate in the boat's engine compartment. This ventilation reduces the risk of explosive fumes igniting during the refueling process. Additionally, ensuring good airflow helps maintain a safe environment for the crew and equipment on board. Always follow safety guidelines and manufacturer recommendations when refueling.
I would suggest that as there could be volatile fumes gathering during refuelling, that any electrical system likely to cause a spark should be switched off before refuelling begins. Keeping doors, portholes and vents open would help to dissipate any fumes.
To refuel an outboard boat with a portable tank, first ensure the engine is turned off and the boat is in a well-ventilated area. Disconnect the fuel line from the outboard motor, then open the cap on the portable tank and use a siphon or a funnel to transfer fuel into the tank. After refueling, securely close the tank cap, reconnect the fuel line, and check for leaks before starting the engine. Always follow safety precautions and local regulations regarding fuel handling.
