Question 2230 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 5 gallons. The reasoning is based on the Coast Guard regulations for vessels constructed before July 1, 1974. For a 100-GT vessel, the minimum capacity of the drip pans required under or around each fuel tank vent, overflow, and fill pipe is 5 gallons. This is specified in 33 CFR 155.320(a)(2), which states that the minimum capacity for vessels constructed before July 1, 1974 and less than 150 GT is 5 gallons. The other options are incorrect because 1 gallon (A) is too small, and 1 barrel (C) or 2 barrels (D) are larger than the required 5 gallons.
