Question 1827Deck General70% to pass

On small passenger vessels what device must you install under carburetors, other than the downdraft type, to allow ready removal of fuel leakage?

AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) A drip collector. The reason this is the correct answer is that under the regulations for small passenger vessels, a drip collector must be installed under carburetors, other than the downdraft type, to allow for the ready removal of any fuel leakage. This requirement is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for small passenger vessels. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement for a drip collector. Absorbent material, a sponge, or a funnel and tin can would not provide the same functionality as a proper drip collector designed for this purpose.
