¦ Close all windows, doors and openings.
¦ Take portable tanks out of the boat and fill them on the dock.
¦ Keep the filling nozzle in contact with the tank.
¦ Wipe up any spilled gas with petroleum-absorbent pads. Discard the
pads in a safe manner.
¦ Ventilate for at least five minutes. Make sure there is no odor of gasoline
anywhere in the boat.
¦ Periodically check the system for fuel leaks.
¦ Visually check for leaks or fuel in the bilges.
