Question 1879Deck General70% to pass
On small passenger vessels gasoline tanks must be _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) All of the above.
Gasoline tanks on small passenger vessels must meet the following requirements:
1. They must be built without flanged-up top edges to prevent the accumulation of water and debris.
2. Tanks longer than 30 inches in any horizontal dimension must be fitted with vertical baffle plates to prevent the free flow of liquid, which could affect the vessel's stability.
3. The tanks must be electrically bonded to a common ground to prevent the buildup of static electricity, which could ignite the gasoline vapors.
The other options are incorrect because they do not address all the necessary requirements for gasoline tanks on small passenger vessels.
