After reading my first comment, it might be considered a bit impolite and

truly is very dangerous. It is virtually impossible to make any of them safe
if any part of the system is below deck. For that reason, I carry only
Diesel and use only electric below deck. If gasoline must be used for an
outboard, then it must be carried on deck.

And how many aerosol cans and bottles of volatile solvents do you have
aboard? They are all potential bombs in an enclosed space.


Exactly. A great many airosols are using deoderized propane as the
propellant. Which is why the instructions tell you not to throw in a
fire. Alchole? A vaper pressure lower then gasoline. Heck, you can
even drown in any water over, say 7 feet.

One might even say that boating is enherantly dangerious.....
