70% to pass

According to the regulations, normally, manholes in LFG tanks are located _______________.

A above the weather deck
B in the ends of each tank
C in the expansion trunk of each tank
D there are no requirements in the regulation
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) above the weather deck. According to the regulations, manholes in liquefied flammable gas (LFG) tanks are required to be located above the weather deck. This ensures that any potential leaks or venting from the manholes are directed away from enclosed spaces and can safely vent to the atmosphere. The other options are incorrect because: B) the regulation does not specify that manholes must be located at the ends of each tank, C) the expansion trunk is not mentioned as a required location for manholes, and D) there are specific regulatory requirements for the placement of manholes, so there are not "no requirements" in the regulations.
