Hmm, interesting. So, if you were to take the same tank, and put hold
down clips on it, then it would somehow magically not allow fumes to
settle, and would, again, somehow make the fuel unspillable?


Research has shown that sarcasm will neither prevent fuel spills, hasten
evaporation, nor alter reality. The recommended procedure for portable
tanks is to remove them for refueling. Chapman's advises that any tank over
6 gallons ought not be considered portable. If you permanently affix your
tanks to the boat, then they are considered permanently installed. If your
tanks are permanently installed, CFR183 stipulates standards of size and
assembly for your fuel filler system, including the fill port that is
located in such a location that an accidental spill cannot find its way back
into the boat.

So you see -- magic has nothing to do with it!
