NMMA Introduces New Task Force for Fueling Best Practices

The National Marine Manufacturers’ Association (NMMA) has launched a dedicated task force focused on fuel system inspection education and refueling best practices.

This initiative aims to enhance awareness and education among dealers, service technicians, and boat owners regarding recreational boat fuel systems and the refueling process. Oversight for this effort will be provided by the Boating Industry Risk Management Council and the Boat and Yacht Certification Committee.

The task force is composed of a diverse group of industry experts who will examine current regulations, review field data, and identify best practices. Participating organizations include the United States Coast Guard, the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas (MRAA), the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency, American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the NMMA.

As part of this effort, the NMMA has published a new Marine Fuel Systems Safety brochure, available for free download alongside several other safety resources covering a range of topics on the NMMA website here.
