  Interesting that they state that gasoline will not be drained from vehicles. I wonder if that used to be a typical condition for vehicles traveling inside ships.

  Well, I think at the time when people thought of their cars going on a ship, they wern't familiar with a ferry service

  but most of the carferries on the great lakes out of detroit required gasoine to be drained, by todays standards the aquarama would be considered a firetrap with a belly full of cars, there is a reason inland car ferries are very open on thier car decks, gasoline fumes could blow this thing out of the water

  also, keep in mind the vehicles of this period had NO safety features in the fuel systems... leaks, venting, all that stuff.
One stray spark and that tub is on the lake bottom

  Not too long ago, I spoke with a retired boat captain and I asked him about that mention in the leaflet. He told me the regulations for great lakes vessels to encourage growth of ferries.
