Air-Fuel 20:1 and BAM! I never stand around the fuel dock at marinas.

On the 10pm news they said it probably originated on the boat since the fuel dock components were untouched. The boat was blow to literal bits. The only thing remotely recognizable was a stainless steel arch being recovered. Sad...

I love my fuel detector (bought it on e bay $100 a little extra piece of mind ) but after I fill up open the hatch run the blower and take a good sniff with your nose ,also when the motor runs the blower runs

@GMSLITHO I need to install a fume detector as well, smart.  Question for you, you run your blower the entire time the engine is on? Do you have a fireboy?

No no fire boy  just 2 extinguishers galley and helm
