What is the maximum hose length allowed at a boat dock or truck stop?

The maximum hose length allowed at a boat dock or truck stop is 50 feet. This limitation is primarily established to ensure safety and compliance with regulatory standards. A shorter hose length helps to minimize potential hazards, such as spills or accidents that could occur along a longer hose's run. In addition, the 50-foot maximum is designed to facilitate easier handling and management of hoses, reducing the risk of kinking or damage that could arise from excessive length. These standards are critical in maintaining operational efficiency and ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment in areas where fuel transfer occurs.
