what is the best way to check for gas fumes after fueling a pwc?
Serious accidents can also occur when feeding a PWC. Spilled or leaked fuel can ignite and explode, especially in an enclosed space. PWC operators should pay special attention to these nutrition guidelines.
Check the entire fuel system for frequent leaks and fuel system connections. Engine vibrations and hitting from working on wastewater can lead to loose connections.
Avoid spillage of fuel when refueling in or near water.
Do not tilt the PWC to fill it completely. The tank is designed to leave room for fuel expansion. If the tank is full, the fuel may extend and spill over into the water.
After refueling, open the engine compartment door and inhale to check for any evidence of gas vapors. Do this before starting the engine. If you smell gas vapors, identify the source and make repairs immediately.
