- Questions

Why do I need a bilge blower?

Bilge blowers remove explosive fuel vapours from engine compartments on the Gold Coast before starting petrol engines. They're legally required for inboard petrol engines throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Run blowers for 4 minutes before starting engines to prevent dangerous vapour accumulation and potential explosions.

What size blower do I need for my engine compartment?

Calculate engine compartment volume in cubic metres on the Tweed Coast, then choose a blower that exchanges air at least once per minute. A 2 cubic metre compartment needs a 2 m³/minute blower throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Larger capacity provides safety margin and faster vapour removal.

Should I choose inline or flange-mount blowers?

Inline blowers install in ducting runs on the Gold Coast, ideal for tight spaces or remote mounting. Flange-mount blowers attach directly to compartment surfaces throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland with integral ducting connections. Choose based on available space and ducting configuration. Both types provide adequate ventilation when properly sized.

How often should I run my bilge blower?

Run bilge blowers for at least 4 minutes before starting petrol engines on the Tweed Coast. Some boaters run blowers continuously while engines operate for maximum safety throughout Brisbane and SE Queensland. Blowers use minimal power and provide critical safety protection against fuel vapour explosions in enclosed engine compartments.
