[QUOTE="mmf, post: 218942, member: 4379"] Just posting this for everyone's information, When all of us on tinboats build compartments in a boat that will be used to store fuel, an operator needs to make sure to abide his state's regulations concerning fuel storage or take the chance of getting a big ticket courtesy of your wildlife agent. Here is what the state of Florida says about it...... [u][b]Ventilation (Boats built prior to August 1, 1980)[/b][/u] At least two ventilator ducts fitted with cowls or their equivalent for the purpose of properly and efficiently ventilating the bilges of every closed engine and fuel -tank compartment of boats constructed or decked over after April 25, 1940, using gasoline as fuel or other fuels having a flash point of 110 degrees or less. [u][i][b]Ventilation (Boats built after August 1, 1980)[/b][/i][/u] At least two ventilator ducts for the purpose of efficiently ventilating every closed compartment that contains a gasoline engine and every closed compartment containing a gasoline tank, except for those having permanently installed tanks which vent outside the boat and contain no unprotected electrical devices. Also, engine compartments containing a gasoline engine having a cranking motor must contain power operated exhaust blowers which can be controlled from the instrument panel. [/QUOTE]
