During a boat fueling process, non-essential passengers should remain on land or at a safe distance from the fueling area, typically at least 15 feet away. This precaution minimizes the risk of accidents, such as spills or fires, and ensures safety for everyone involved. Passengers should also avoid using any electronic devices or open flames while fueling is in progress. Always follow the crew's instructions and safety guidelines during this time.
Maintain solid contact between the tank and the spout.
watch the litre's of fuel!
While fueling an outboard boat with a portable tank, ensure that the boat is securely moored and that all passengers are safely on land. Turn off the engine and any electrical devices, and avoid using your phone or any sparks near the fueling area. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby and follow all safety guidelines, including not overfilling the tank and wiping up any spills immediately. Finally, ensure proper ventilation and avoid fueling in confined spaces.

To discharge static electricity, it is a good idea to touch a metal object, like a car, when you are trying to fuel a vessel. Also refrain from smoking or using a cell phone.

An invalid passenger usually refers to a disabled or incapacitated passenger. Such passengers are obviously unable to exit the aircraft themselves if there were an emergency, so the FAA mandates that if the aircraft is to be refueled while passengers are aboard (which is a very common practice), if there are invalid passengers onboard there must be a fire crew standing by during fueling.
