7.7 Stowage of Petrol

  7.7.1 When spare petrol is carried on-board in portable containers, for any purpose, the quantity should be kept to a minimum, the containers should be clearly marked and should normally be stowed on the weather deck where they can readily be jettisoned and where spillage will drain directly overboard.

  7.7.2 In small vessels where Section 7.7.1 is not practicable, a 5-litre container of petrol may be stowed in a deck locker which meets the requirements of Section 7.6.1.1.
