  • Fuel storage cap flotation device and method of use
    Patent number: 10035563
    Abstract: An attachable flotation device for a fuel storage cap of a watercraft, the fuel storage cap including an outer surface, an inner surface, and an engagement portion that engages a corresponding portion of the watercraft to cover access to a fuel tank of the watercraft, comprising a floatable material including a top and a bottom; and an attachment mechanism on the bottom of the floatable material that is attachable to the outer surface of the fuel storage cap to attach the floatable material to the fuel storage cap, the floatable material providing sufficient buoyancy to enable the fuel storage cap to float in water when the fuel storage cap accidentally falls in the water during refueling, preventing the fuel storage cap from sinking, and allowing the fuel storage cap to be more readily located and retrieved.
