Question 1849Deck General70% to pass
On small passenger vessels, drains or outlets for drawing off diesel fuel from water traps or strainers _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) are permitted.
The regulations governing small passenger vessels (under 100 gross tons) allow for drains or outlets for drawing off diesel fuel from water traps or strainers to be simply permitted, rather than requiring them to be extended to an external area of the hull (B), located at the lowest portion of the tank (C), or have only a gravity-forced flow (D). As long as the drain or outlet is properly installed and maintained, it is allowed without additional specific requirements.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they impose additional restrictions that are not actually required for small passenger vessels under the applicable Coast Guard regulations.
