According to 46 CFR Part 58, when installing a new independent fuel tank for the emergency lighting generator, which of the following statements must be strictly adhered to in accordance with Coast Guard Regulations?
• 46 CFR Part 58 – Engineering: pay attention to the specific subpart that covers fuel systems for emergency generators • Difference between what the Coast Guard explicitly requires vs. good practice or common sense • How exam questions often use "all of the above" when one or more statements are not exactly what the regulation says
• For each choice (A, B, C), ask: does 46 CFR 58 actually state this wording or requirement, or does it change a key detail? • Look closely at temperature limits, material treatments (like galvanizing), and grounding/insulation – which of these are really in the regulation? • If even one statement is not fully aligned with the text of the regulation, what does that do to option D?
• Carefully compare the temperature limit in A with the exact value given in 46 CFR Part 58 for independent fuel tanks for emergency generators. • Verify if 46 CFR Part 58 actually requires interior galvanizing of iron or steel tanks, or if it allows other corrosion protection methods. • Check whether the regulations call for fuel tanks to be bonded/grounded or insulated from ground with respect to static electricity protection.
