What should you do after fueling your vessel, before starting the engine?

Check for any leaks around the fuel tank

Immediately start the engine to check if it's working

Sniff the bilge and engine compartment for fuel vapors. Continue ventilating until you cannot smell any fuel vapors

After fueling your vessel, you should sniff the bilge and engine compartment for fuel vapors, and continue to ventilate until you cannot smell any fuel vapors. This is important because any remaining fuel vapors can be dangerous if ignited. Checking for leaks around the fuel tank can also be helpful, but it should not be done before checking for fuel vapors. Immediately starting the engine to check if it's working is not necessary and can be dangerous if there are any fuel vapors present. Disconnecting the fuel tank from the engine is also not necessary at this point and could potentially cause damage to your vessel.
