ATTWOOD Fuel Surge Protector | Prevent Spills & Ensure Safe Refueling

Ensure a clean, safe, and efficient refueling experience every time with the ATTWOOD Fuel Surge Protector. Designed for the modern boater, this essential piece of equipment for your vessel´s fuel system eliminates the common and dangerous problem of fuel "spit-back" or "burping" from the fuel tank vent. Stop wasting expensive fuel and prevent hazardous spills that can damage your boat´s finish, pollute the environment, and create a serious fire risk. The ATTWOOD Fuel Surge Protector is an innovative, in-line device that provides peace of mind and makes every trip to the fuel dock worry-free.

Key Benefits for a Superior Boating Experience
* Enhanced Safety: By preventing the spray of flammable gasoline or diesel fuel onto your deck, surrounding water, or hot engine components, this device significantly reduces the risk of fire and injury. It contains the surge within the system, ensuring fuel and volatile vapors stay where they belong.
* Environmental Protection: Play your part in preserving our waterways. The Fuel Surge Protector stops fuel from spilling into the water, helping you avoid fines and protect sensitive marine ecosystems from pollution. It is a crucial component for responsible boating.
* Cost Savings: Fuel that spills onto the deck or into the water is money wasted. This device captures the fuel surge that would otherwise be lost and safely returns it to the tank, ensuring every drop you pay for goes into your boat.
* Maintain a Clean Vessel: Protect your boat’s valuable gelcoat and deck surfaces from the staining and damage caused by fuel spills. Keep your vessel looking pristine and maintain its resale value by preventing unsightly and hard-to-clean fuel marks.

Innovative Features and Design

As one of the most critical fuel system protectors you can install, the ATTWOOD Fuel Surge Protector is engineered for reliability and performance. Its intelligent in-line design allows it to be installed easily within your boat´s existing fuel vent line. When a surge of fuel travels up the vent hose during refueling, the protector captures it in an internal reservoir. As the fuel level in the tank settles, the captured fuel is then gravity-fed back into the tank, all while allowing air to vent freely and continuously. This simple yet highly effective mechanism operates automatically without any moving parts to wear out or fail, offering long-lasting, maintenance-free protection.
