Smile Fueling Jetskis

Hi all,

I was out on the lake yesterday and stopped at a marina to fuel up for the poker run next Saturday. I don't want to mention the marina and get anyone in trouble.

Anyhow, I pulled my jetski up to the pump; that would be my 3 seat jetski that is registered as a boat in the state of New Hampshire. The attendant told me that he could not fuel me due to water quality concerns. At the same time, he was washing the gas off the stern of a boat (into the water) that he had spilled gas on. This one seems tre' weird. Anyone run into this one before? Does this make any sense at all?

Regards,
Jetskier

A few years ago there was talk about fueling issues in Paugus Bay. There was concern that two-stroke motors were dumping a lot of raw gas and MTBE into the bay. The city of Laconia draws it's drinking water from the bay. Back then all jet-skis were two-stroke. I don't know of any law that was passed regarding this.

Thanx for the reply...I have a 4 stroke, no issue with unburned fuel and oil going into the water. At least, no more so than a boat.
