GL: Don't try this at home (Item 1)

[Gregory Han]

Number one on the list of things that will affect your boating enjoyment.

1) Do not fill your fuel tanks from the water hose.


At the dock yesterday I volunteered to help a cruiser who could not
start one engine.  Looking at the Racor, it was completely full of
water.  He had just taken on fuel the day before but this was too much
water for normal contamination. After puzzling over this for a while
the older gent realized that the night before he had taken on water.
Turns out he had topped off his two fuel tanks with the water hose by
mistake.
