Question 1607Deck General70% to pass
On small passenger vessels which type of internal combustion engine carburetor does not require a drip collector?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Downdraft.
Downdraft carburetors do not require a drip collector because the fuel flows downward through the carburetor, reducing the risk of fuel leaks. In contrast, updraft carburetors (option B) have a higher risk of fuel dripping, requiring a drip collector. Four-barrel (option A) and two-barrel (option D) carburetors can be either updraft or downdraft, so they do not have a specific requirement related to drip collectors.
