70% to passA 100-GT vessel, constructed before July 1,1974, is loading diesel fuel. What is the minimum capacity of the drip pans required for placement under or around each fuel tank vent, overflow, and fill pipe?
A
1 gallon
B
5 gallons
C
1 barrel
D
2 barrels
AI Explanation
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.
