NEVER SPILL ANOTHER DROP OF GAS AT A FUEL DOCK
SAVING OUR WATER while reducing pollution of our air
ELIMINATING POLLUTION
- IT'S ESTIMATED THAT EVERY YEAR 3-6 MILLION GALLONS OF FUEL ARE SPILLED INTO U.S. WATERWAYS DURING THE FUELING OF THE 12 MILLION PLEASURE BOATS IN THE U.S.
- THE MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY SAYS EVERY GALLON OF GAS SPILLED CONTAMINATES 1,000,000 GALLONS OF WATER https://www.mrwa.com/SWP/Brochures/WebAbovegroundStorageTanktrifoldBr.pdf THAT MEANS THE SPILLED GAS IS CONTAMINATING AS MUCH AS 1,000,000 MULTIPLIED BY 6,000,000, OR 6 TRILLION GALLONS OF WATER.
- 6 TRILLION GALLONS IS A LOT OF WATER! IN FACT IT IS 6 TIMES AS MUCH WATER AS THERE IS IN FLORIDA'S LAKE OKEECHOBEE
- IT HAS BECOME OBVIOUS TO US THAT WHAT MAY APPEAR TO BE INSIGNIFICANT SPILLS AT THE FUEL DOCK ACTUALLY ADD UP TO HUGE POLLUTION PROBLEMS IN OUR WATERWAYS.
- THAT'S WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING THE POLLUTION OF OUR AIR CAUSED BY THE EVAPORATIVE GAS
- BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWLEDGE, WE HAVE DECIDED TO DONATE A MINIMUM OF 7.5% OF NET PROFITS TO 501 C3 ORGANIZATIONS PROMOTING CLEAN WATER
WHAT "NEVER-SPILL" DOES
- "NEVER-SPILL" IS A PATENTED AFTER-MARKET INVENTION THAT WILL PREVENT YOU FROM SPILLING ANOTHER DROP OF GASOLINE AT A FUEL DOCK EVER AGAIN. IT IS HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO PROTECT BOTH THE BOATS AND THE WATER BY PREVENTING ALL GAS SPILLS AT THE FUEL DOCK.
- IT'S QUICK TO INSTALL, SIMPLE TO USE, AND STAYS SAFELY INSIDE THE DECK FILL
- IT MAKES FILLING YOUR BOAT'S TANK AS EASY AS FILLING YOUR CAR'S TANK
- IT MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR ANYBODY TO FILL A BOAT'S GAS TANK WITHOUT SPILLING GAS INTO THE WATER.
- IT ALLOWS YOU TO FUEL YOUR BOAT FASTER BECAUSE IT ELIMINATES BURPS & BACKSPLASHES
- IT PREVENTS DIESEL FUEL FROM ENTERING YOUR GAS TANK BECAUSE DIESEL NOZZLES CANNOT FIT INSIDE IT
INVENTOR TELLS HOW THE "NEVER-SPILL" CAME TO BE
FATHER-AND-SON: GREG SMITH (RIGHT) AND DAVID SMITH (LEFT) WITH A "NEVER-SPILL"
- THE IDEA FOR THE "NEVER-SPILL FUEL-FILL" CAME ABOUT WHILE I WAS WORKING AT A GAS DOCK AND I BECAME AWARE OF HOW FRUSTRATING IT WAS TO FUEL A BOAT.
- IT WAS A STRESSFUL EXPERIENCE PUTTING FUEL INTO A BOAT AND HAVING TO CONSTANTLY LISTEN FOR A CHANGE IN PITCH TO SIGNAL THAT THE TANK WAS NEAR FULL CAPACITY. BUT SOMETIMES THERE WAS NO SUCH SIGNAL, AND FUEL WOULD COME OUT OF THE TANK VENT AND ONTO A PAD THAT I WAS HOLDING UNDERNEATH THE VENT TO CATCH THE EXCESS FUEL. I ALWAYS WONDERED, "WHY CAN'T I FUEL A BOAT THE SAME WAY AS I FUEL A CAR?"
- ONE DAY I MENTIONED MY FRUSTRATIONS TO MY DAD, AN ENGINEER FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. WE DECIDED TO PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, AND THE END RESULT IS A PRODUCT THAT STOPS THE FUEL BEFORE IT EVER GETS A CHANCE TO COME OUT OF THE TANK VENT.
- NO MORE SPILLS! NO MORE ANXIETY WONDERING IF THE TANK IS GETTING CLOSE TO FULL! THE EXPERIENCE OF FUELING YOUR BOAT IS NOW THE SAME AS FUELING YOUR CAR!
