FUEL DOCKS - Seattle, Washington

Most Marinas and Boatyards recognize that the know how of boaters runs from the professional captain to the novice who only knows how to start the motor. Therefore, dispensing of fuel is an important operational task. To avoid a liability issue, the fuel dock attendant should hand the fuel nozzle to the responsible person on the boat and indicate the type of fuel that is going to be dispensed. The fuel dock attendant should receive a confirmation from the person on the boat regarding the type of fuel that they are receiving.
The fuel dock attendant should not advise anyone on the boat as to how or where to receive fuel on the boat.  This is also the reason for the exchange on the type of fuel being dispensed.  Those that are familiar with the different types of boats can tell the type of fuel they require just by looking at the boat.There are a few inboard power boats and particularly sailboats that you cannot tell by looking at them.
