Question 1336 Deck Safety
70% to passThe survival craft's engine is fueled with _______________.
A
liquefied gas
B
unleaded gasoline
C
kerosene
D
diesel oil
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) diesel oil. Survival craft, such as lifeboats and life rafts, are typically equipped with diesel-powered engines. Diesel engines are preferred for survival craft because they are more reliable, durable, and less prone to ignition hazards compared to gasoline-powered engines. Diesel fuel is also less volatile and safer to handle in an emergency situation. The other options are incorrect because liquefied gas (A) is not a common fuel source for survival craft engines, unleaded gasoline (B) is too volatile for survival craft use, and kerosene (C) is not the standard fuel for these types of engines.
