[QUOTE="fool4fish1226, post: 263007, member: 6845"] First off: WELCOME: Placing anything that could cause a spark next to a fuel supply could cause problems (Boom). I however have run boats with the battery and fuel tank side by side for years without problems, maybe just lucky or something. I would think that in an open air environment like a boat that there would be little or no fume build up or least not enough to cause any serious problem. Now if you would enclose both (fuel and battery) inside a deck this is were I would recommend good ventilation and possibly a blower motor like the ones found on inboard motor boats. One last thought, you may find that you will want either your battery or fuel cell up front just to help with weight distribution and that would take care of your concern. [/QUOTE]
