I have that section. The problem with it though is that the first
paragraph on aplicability says it is for gasoline engines. Most of what
I have found in 33 CFR 181 through 183 relates more to smaller gasoline
powered boats than to diesel cruisers.

Thanks for the home page for the CFRs though. I have been searching
piecemeal.

Hello again Glenn,
I think you want Title 33 instead of 46.
I am sending you the PDF for 33CFR 183.5.
It looks like you have a couple of materials that you are not allowed to
use.
Otherwise, you just have to pass the pressure test.

I hope you don't mind me downloading your boat project for my own use.
Here's the link for future searching of the Code of Federal Regulations.
