Totally untrue, if I spill gas while refueling. THe gas doc will
surround the area with absorption material, and clean it up, I have to file an EPA report on how it happened, and how I will prevent it in the future The gas doc? What's a gas doc? Dock. It doesn't matter too much anyway, because now the discussion is shifting. I thought of that, but in all my years of boating, I've never seen a dock surround anything. I considered that it might be a local company in the business of spill mitigation. Personally, I sprinkle some Dawn dishwashing detergent around. Presto, no more gas slick. Of course, another option when refueling, is to not spill so much fuel (such that the Sheen Rule is invoked, etc). Not as much of an option as you'd think. You generally don't know your tank is full until gas comes out of the overflow which, of course, is over the water. Some gas is spilled more often than not. Gas evaporates pretty quickly and such small amounts don't last long enough to be a significant problem. Lee |
