Question 1924 Deck General
70% to passFixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems shall be installed to protect enclosed machinery and fuel tank spaces of all vessels using gasoline or other fuel having a flash point of _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)
A
0°F or lower
B
75°F or lower
C
90°F or lower
D
110°F or lower
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) 110°F or lower. The regulation states that fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems shall be installed to protect enclosed machinery and fuel tank spaces of all vessels using gasoline or other fuel having a flash point of 110°F or lower. This is because fuels with a flash point of 110°F or lower are considered highly flammable and pose a significant fire risk, necessitating the installation of these specialized fire suppression systems. The other options are incorrect because 0°F is too low, 75°F is too low, and 90°F is also too low compared to the 110°F requirement specified in the regulation.
