Mark Trowbridge
“If it weren’t for the last minute,….nothing would get done.”
“Failure to plan is… a plan for failure.”
1. Planning
•It’s OK to Implement at the last minute But
•Plan and Design Now
1. Planning
Bottom Line for Planning
1. There’s more involved than buying parts and adding them to your boat.
2. Prioritize your boats and fuel tanks based on importance to business.
3. Contact a couple suppliers ASAP.4. Sketch an optimized and an alternative system
for each boat / tank system.5. Consider changes to the boat for an optimized
system.

2. Packaging
There Is Added Content for2 New & Improved Functions
1) Fuel Fill - this happens at the pump2) Diurnal Emissions Control – this happens
when not at the pump
2. Packaging
2. Packaging
All fuel systems require some level of added content
Gas Caps, most will need changedDeck Fills may need vents added, or other changesFuel Fill Hose may have added contentLabeling may need to be added near the gas capAll boats add either an:
Evap Carbon Canister, or Pressure Release Mechanism
Fuel Tank Venting, Valves or Signal Devices will be needSurge Protectors, and Fuel Separators may be requiredP-Trap or Improved Water Protection at Vent
Bottom Line for Packaging1. You’ll need space. 2. Obtain models from your potential suppliers.3. Package protect for these components.
2. Packaging
3. Accessibility
For some boats this is the most difficult requirement to meet without significant compromise.
Accessibility Requirement Can Drive Reduced Fuel Capacity Tool and Boat Mold Changes Appearance Changes in Decks and GunnelsAdditional content and complexity
3. Accessibility
Bottom Line for Accessibility1.The optimum location for tank mounted
valves may not be where you have access.2.Boats with full, removable tank covers might
be the best long term approach.3.New fuel and vent components will need
access provided.
