Question 1940Deck General70% to pass
Outlets in gasoline fuel lines are _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) prohibited.
Outlets in gasoline fuel lines are prohibited because they can pose a significant fire hazard. Gasoline vapors are highly flammable, and any potential ignition source near a fuel line, such as an outlet, could lead to a dangerous fire or explosion. The Coast Guard regulations strictly prohibit the use of outlets in gasoline fuel lines to prevent such accidents and ensure the safe operation of vessels.
The other answer choices are incorrect because A) drawing fuel samples should be done through a designated sampling port, B) bleeding air from lines should be done at a designated bleed point, and D) draining fuel should be done through a proper drain valve, not an uncontrolled outlet.
