The correct answer is D) all of the above. Fuel oil settling tanks are used to: 1) Precipitate out water and solids (option A) - The tanks allow water and solids to settle out of the fuel, purifying it before use. 2) Store oil for immediate use (option B) - The tanks store the processed fuel oil, ready for use by the engine. 3) Facilitate the stripping of sludge and water (option C) - The tanks allow the sludge and water to be drained off, further cleaning the fuel. Therefore, all three options correctly describe the purposes of fuel oil settling tanks on board vessels.
