Fuel System Grounding

image

Fuel System Grounding is not only a critical safety measure, but also required by ABYC and USCG Code of Federal Regulations (for gasoline powered boats). This course takes a close look at the requirements themselves and the proper implementation of the requirements from a service perspective. All too often the grounding wires have been by-passed, removed, or daisy-chained over the years and such was the case on ABYC's project boat. Watch as ABYC Lead Instructor Mike Bonicker corrects the wiring and explains what and why this is an important procedure.
