2. Where a reserve supply of gasoline is carried it shall be carried in a metal container and the spout or opening in the container shall be provided with an effective cap.
3. In all cases when gasoline tanks are being filled, an efficient funnel shall be used to prevent spillage into the hull of the boat.
4. Gasoline tanks shall be installed so that gasoline cannot spill into the bilges while the tanks are being filled.
