Q

A carburetor is required to have a safety device called a(n) __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Carburetor function in gasoline marine engines • Purpose of a backfire protection device on inboard and sterndrive engines • U.S. Coast Guard requirements for gasoline engine installations (46 CFR and 33 CFR)

💭 Think About

• Which choice is specifically designed to prevent a fire from traveling back through the carburetor into the engine compartment? • On gasoline-powered boats, what device must be installed on all carburetors to protect against explosions in the bilge? • Among the options, which one is a named device you’d expect to see listed as required safety equipment in regulations and manuals?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option is an actual, recognized engine safety device used on gasoline carburetors • Confirm which device is specifically meant to stop flames from traveling backward through the intake • Eliminate any choices that sound generic (like normal system components) rather than a dedicated safety device required by regulation
