70% to pass

If you are bunkering and you close off one tank in the line of tanks being filled, the rate of flow to other open tanks on the same line will _______________.

A remain constant
B decrease
C stop
D increase
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) increase. When you close off one tank in a line of tanks being filled during bunkering, the rate of flow to the other open tanks on the same line will increase. This is because the overall volume of fuel being delivered remains the same, but with one tank closed off, the flow is redistributed to the remaining open tanks, causing their flow rate to increase. The other options are incorrect because: A) The flow rate would not remain constant, as closing off one tank affects the overall distribution of the fuel flow. B) The flow rate to the other tanks would not decrease, but rather increase to accommodate the closed-off tank. C) The flow would not stop, as the overall bunkering operation is still in progress with the remaining open tanks.
