    Diesel boats blow up - LPG can accumulate in the bilge. Every enclosed boat should have a bilge blower. I suspect those guys did something stupid while refueling

    How often do you see a petrol boat blowup ? This is a 40 year old B28 perhaps poorly maintained .

    I've owned and been around diesel boats all my life, never have I seen one on fire. Ordinary vents are enough. Meanwhile, I've watched 2 petrol cruisers go up, one of them 2 berths from my boat.

    Having an LPG bottle stored below is just stupid. When I has gas bbq's, I kept the bottle in a cockpit locker with vented door.

    I had to read a building inspector's report today that was so badly written and so many spelling errors it was barely intelligible...
    Best bit was the constant repetition of the phrase 'poor workmanship' but spelled 'pour'....

    exploding petrol boats are almost a monthly event in Sydney every summer. Boats sit on their mooring or on a trailer through winter, electrical systems quietly corroding, fuel hoses rotting, plug leads cracking, etc. Then owners jump on when the warm weather starts, fill up and off they go. So many fires happen at fuel jetties that I stopped using them, had the diesel barge come to me, another $50 on a $2000 fill is worth the extra safety.

    We have a boat burn to the water level every week here on the GC .... I reckon most would be insurance jobs or slack maintenance by the owners

    No petrol boats.

    Poor maintenence plus weekend warriors ends in disaster

    Should be a mandatory procedure that bilge extraction fans run pre start and during refuel.

    Not sure but it's common for it to happen when refueling so petrol is a definite factor

    Yes, I’ve always thought petrol has a lot to do with a petrol fire.


    Silly signature here to annoy KIAI
