Exmouth fuel on marina?
Submitted by Chook1204 on Tue, 2017-12-19 20:36
Hi guys we are heading up to exmouth next year for the first time, have booked a house on marina to have boat moored up, trying to find out whether or not there is unleaded fuel available in the marina, did a search and all posts were from 2012 hoping things have changed since then?

As far as I know Baileys
As far as I know Baileys still only do diesel there.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Ok cheers mate, so I’m
Ok cheers mate, so I’m guessing you arent allowed to refill using jerry cans with boat moored up , meaning it will have to be pulled out of water and taken to town to fill up?

Can’t see why anyone can
Can’t see why anyone can really stop you.

Why would anyone want to stop you
I can't see why anyone would try and stop you filling up from a jerry can, what could they possibly say, it's unsafe, tell me why. As long as you are not pouring it into a tank around a hot inboard engine, and the filling port is usually well away from the engine housing on most boats I've seen there is no safety risk with the filling port away from the engine generally you are not at risk of putting fuel into the bilge.

In the posts I searched
In the posts I searched about it people said they were taking there boats out to fill them, i thought filling by Jerry’s would be fine but wasn’t sure after reading the posts,

It’s a fair run around to
It’s a fair run around to the west side from the marina and I guess most had bigger boats. Probably not practical to be filling 150 litres a day from jerries. If it’s only 40-60l top up it’s probably worth it.

Be very careful about mooring in the canals
if yu have a pontoon-type landing that goes up and down with the tide, you're OK. But if it is just a solid landing type with ropes that slide up and down the bollards--boats have been sunk. I know a bloke whose boat was written off in these circumstances, and the local crane operator reckons he has recovered more than a few.
