ABSTRACT:
To minimize gasoline spillage during the fueling of a pleasure boat, use is made of an overflow device that may be of a see-through plastic shaped to provide an adequate overflow chamber, which is positioned in the gas tank filler pipe, thereby enabling an overflow situation to be visually detected and appropriately attended to. Static electricity grounding during the fueling procedure, which ordinarily is achieved simply by establishing contact between the fueling nozzle and filler pipe, is, in this instance, achieved just as readily, even though the plastic device separates the fueling nozzle and filler pipe, merely upon the projection of the fueling nozzle into the overflow device.
