UELING RECAUTIONS
Cer tain precautions must be carefully and
completely observed every time a boat is fueled,
even with diesel fuel. Diesel fuel is nonexplosive
but it will burn.
A. G :
ENERAL
• Fuel during daylight.
• Check fill plate label to ensure fuel is placed
only in fuel tank. Fuel fill plates are located
on the starboard deck walkway by the
control station (see Fig. 5.1.2).
• Avoid spills.
• Know your fuel capacity and consumption.
Record the amount of fuel used since your
last fill up, and compute the engine's hourly
fuel usage. As a fuel gauge backup check,
deduct the average hourly fuel usage from
fuel tank capacity.
• Observe the "Rule of Thirds": one-third fuel
for trip out, one-third for return and one-third
for reserve.
• Allow an additional 15 percent fuel reserve
when operating in rough seas.
B. B & D
EFORE URING
• Fire extinguisher – close at hand.
• Mooring – boat tied securely to fueling pier.
• Crew – at least one knowledgeable person
present.
