As he said, do what you think is in your best interest, but the law is
written so that ANY gas/oil that will leave a sheen on the water can
result in HIGH fines. Technically if you overfill your gas tank and a
ounce of gas ends up in the water, you could face an outrageous fine.

This is the reason why all marinas I ever visit require the boat owner
to fill their tanks. That way they are not responsible for overfilling
a tank.

Does the EPA and CG respond to and fine folks in GA for overfilling
the gas tanks on their boats?

We have the option of filling our tanks ourselves or having the dock
attendant do it for us.



Let's be real here...how often is Reggie "filling the tank" on his
imaginary bubble boat to drive around that dried up lake?

Parker puts fairly large gasoline tanks in its boats. My 21-footer has a
100-gallon tank. I keep it about half full. Another 50 gallons of fuel
is another 350 pounds or so... No need to be carrying that much extra
weight.
