Coast Gurad Regulations- Fuel Filter / Water Separator
I saw a new 40' sailboat yesterday had a metal bowl under the primary Fuel
Filter / Water Separator. The sales rep said that it was a CG Reg. My current sailboat (built in '94) does not have such a thing. The surveyor never mentioned it either. Anyone have a link to the Regs that would cover these things? I'd like to know if there are any other items that would cause a 'Coastie' to peel off a citation. JD |

Coast Gurad Regulations- Fuel Filter / Water Separator
Just a hunch - if its an inboard gasoline engine it needs a metal bowl. If it
diesel, or outboard, a see-thru bowl can be used. Check out the Racor site for info on that. The regs, in their gruesome entirety (almost) are the Code of Federal Regulations, or CFR. Most of the appropriate to boats are in 46CFR or 33CFR. Its online at: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/cfr/index.html but its not for the feint-hearted. A better description is the ABYC code, which is, in fact, largely "included by reference" in the CFR. However, I think you have to pay for a copy. You might find much of what you're looking for at: http://www.uscgboating.org/regulatio...lder/index.htm or other pages on www.uscgboating.org -jd morris "JD Davis" wrote in message .net...

Commercial vessels only. Private yachts need not install.
