Welcome to the University of Maine’s Marine Fuel Overflow Prevention Device website. This site presents the work of three University of Maine Mechanical Engineering seniors, completing their senior capstone project. The goal of the capstone is to create a device which can be retrofitted into current boats which, during filling, will eliminate fuel overflow into sensitive marine ecosystems. While laws against fuel overflow exist these rules are often not enforced because of problems with implementing the no fuel spill rules. |
|
 The
Long Term goals of the team are to create a prototype run of production-quality
Overflow Prevention Devices to test in actual marine applications. From
the information gathered in the testing phase, it is hoped that an actual
production run of devices will be made and the product will be marketed
worldwide. |
