Question 1854Deck General70% to pass
On small passenger vessels, how many supply and exhaust ducts are required in each enclosed space containing gasoline powered machinery or gasoline fuel tanks?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 2 of each.
According to the regulations set by the US Coast Guard, each enclosed space containing gasoline powered machinery or gasoline fuel tanks on small passenger vessels must have 2 supply ducts and 2 exhaust ducts. This ensures proper ventilation and air circulation to prevent the buildup of flammable vapors.
The other options are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement of 2 supply and 2 exhaust ducts per enclosed space. Having fewer ducts would not provide adequate ventilation, while having more ducts is not necessary for compliance.
