2.4.3 Refuelling

Before you start to fill the engine fuel tank, turn off the engine and naturally
any cigarettes or any other open flames like stoves, candles or lamps with
flames. It's not allowed to use switches or appliances that can cause spark
formation during fuelling.
When filling the fuel tank, do not use a plastic funnel between the fuel gun or fuel
container and the boat, as it prevents discharging the electric charge difference between
the fuel pistol and the filling fitting causing a spark.
Always clean up any spillage immediately after fuelling.
Loose reserve fuel containers onboard, should be stored in one of the outside storages
in the stern, or in the aft starboard storage. Never store them inside the cabin or in the
port side stern storage, as electrical equipment may cause sparks. Always check fuel
containers before each trip to detect leakages or smell of fumes.
DANGER
Fuel and its vapours are highly explosive. Exercise extreme caution and follow these
instructions while refuelling. The smell of fuel always means that there is vaporized fuel in the
boat. Never store fuel close to electric circuits or batteries (so never in the stern sofa). Do
not use plastic funnels when fuelling.
