Since water and gas don’t mix and water is more dense the gas sits on the surface, so by having the floating booms (the fire hose looking thingys) it contains the fuel in that area.

Am I reading this correctly? Instead of having replacement pads ready to be swapped out they let the contamination flow freely about until someone showed up with the replacements?

Perhaps M&P could borrow my clubs manual and SEPs for dealing with such issues. Over the past decade we have had an impeccable record and pride ourselves on clean yachting. With plenty of SEPs such occurances would never happen. The pipes and hoses are always clean and clear.
