Be safe in this upcoming season! Always check for gas smell in the bilge after fueling.

I had a guy put the fuel nozzle in a rod holder. I asked him not to start pumping and corrected him. His face turned red enough to ignite any gas fumes. I did not give him a tip.My neighbors father, who had a habit of tipping them back while boating, made the mistake of filling his rod holder with gas when fueling up one day.
Upon starting the engine, the dock boy went flying into the water and the Captain went down with the ship! Fortunately he was boating alone that day.
I took these photos 10-minutes before the county police and USCG showed up to do their investigation on the barge that they craned what was left of the boat on.

Mine do.Dayum. He musta been smashed. Rod holders don’t have caps. I cant imagine how someone mistakes that.

The easiest step….Pass me the nozzle and I will fill it myself, im still tipping you. We get new faces at our gas dock every year and the second time that season they blew gas out the fill from overfilling all over the back of the boat, im doing it myself from now onAfter seeing this and hundreds of others like it you would think there would be more information on refueling steps. So what steps do you follow when refueling.
I used to never completely top off tank to avoid doing that, now I don’t top off the tank cause I can’t afford to.The easiest step….Pass me the nozzle and I will fill it myself, im still tipping you.
