Question 1951Deck General70% to pass
On small passenger vessels, outlets in fuel lines are permitted _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) under no circumstances in gasoline installations.
The reason this is the correct answer is that outlets in fuel lines are not permitted on small passenger vessels with gasoline installations. This is because any outlets in the fuel line could potentially create a fire or explosion hazard by allowing fuel to leak or be siphoned, which would be extremely dangerous on a passenger vessel. The regulations strictly prohibit any outlets in gasoline fuel lines to maintain the integrity and safety of the fuel system.
The other answer choices are incorrect because A) tapping fuel lines for cleaning is not allowed, C) fuel lines should not be opened for inspection (a visual inspection is required), and D) bleeding fuel lines should be done through the proper fuel system components, not random outlets.
