    § 66. Inflammable  or  explosive articles prohibited. 1. No loose hay,
  loose cotton, or loose hemp, camphene, nitro-glycerine, naptha, benzine,
  benzol, coal-oil, crude petroleum or other like explosive burning fluids
  or dangerous articles, shall be carried as freight or used as stores  on
  any  public  vessel  carrying  passengers  licensed  under this chapter,
  except that refined petroleum which will not ignite at a temperature  of
  less  than  one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit may be carried on the
  main deck of any public vessel, provided the barrels or cases containing
  such oil are fully covered with a tarpaulin. But nothing in this section
  shall be construed to prevent any vessel utilizing petroleum,  petroleum
  products  or  other  mineral  oils  as  a  source  of motive power, from
  carrying for its own use, in reasonable quantities, petroleum, petroleum
  products and  oils  in  metal  tanks,  properly  protected,  vented  and
  located,  such tanks, their piping, equipment and manner of installation
  to be subject to the approval of the inspector, and such  approval  when
  given  shall be indorsed on the certificate of inspection issued to such
  vessel,  nor  shall  the  provisions  of  this  section   prohibit   the
  transportation  by  vessels of gasoline or other petroleum products when
  carried in the tanks of  motor  vehicles  using  gasoline  or  petroleum
  products  as  a  source  of motive power, provided that all fire in such
  vehicles shall be extinguished and  their  engines  and  motors  stopped
  immediately  after  boarding  such vessels, and no fire shall be lighted
  nor the  engine  or  motor  of  such  vehicle  shall  be  started  until
  immediately before such vehicle shall leave the vessel.
    2.  It  shall  be  unlawful  for  the operator of any marina providing
  facilities for sale of fuel to vessels, to maintain fuel  pumps  on  the
  premises unless equipped as may be necessary for the arresting of static
  electricity.  All  motors  and  generators  on the vessel being refueled
  shall be turned off during the refueling process.
    A violation of the provisions  of  this  section  shall  constitute  a
  violation  punishable  as  set  forth in section seventy-three-c of this
  article.
