How could I be so Dumb? I couldn't believe that I hadn't thought of this before, being super cautious. Our 2011 2574 GCW with 250hp Vmax has a pathetically small 25gal? tank. The Vmax can empty that fast. I had a couple of 5 gal spares and thought that I could stow them in the center bilge as spares. Here in Fla heat they vent a lot of light ends. As I was placing them down there I suddenly considered that the bilge pump is probably not intrinsically safe, which means that when it comes on it could light off the gasoline vapors in that enclosed space. A very bad situation.
I'm sure that everyone has already considered this...but just in case.
