<span>The correct answer is keep the engine running at idle speed</span>

While filling the fuel tank, keep the nozzle of the fuel-pump hose in contact with the tank opening to prevent producing a static spark. Avoid spilling fuel into the boat's bilge. Also, avoid filling to the brim so as to leave room for expansion.
