VEHICLE INSPECTION SITE

There will be a check site located outside the freight doors during move-in where all boats, SUV's, RV's, and any other motorized vehicles must be inspected for fuel levels. This procedure is required in order to ensure public safety and meet Fire Marshall regulations. Upon inspection, you will be given a "pass" to enter the facility.

FUEL TANKS (3 Gallons or less)

When vehicles or boats with fuel tanks are part of the display, fuel-tank caps must be equipped with a locking gas cap or taped closed and batteries disconnected. Fuel tanks should be empty. For vehicles that must be driven onto the show floor, Fire Marshal standards are the lesser of 3 gallons or less than a ¼ tank of fuel (sufficient to drive in/ out). Portable auxiliary fuel tanks are prohibited and must be removed.

FUEL CAP MUST BE TAPED

All caps on fuel tanks must be taped down to discourage removing cap in the building.

DISCONNECT ALL BATTERIES

The GND Terminal must be disconnected on all vehicles or power products.

USED PROPANE TANKS ARE PROHIBITED

Any propane tanks in the building must have the original factory seal or they must be removed.
