🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR Subchapter J requirements for emergency generators and their starting systems • Why certain starting aids can be a fire or explosion hazard on emergency equipment • Difference between heating systems used in normal operation vs. what is specifically allowed as a "starting aid" in the regulation

💭 Think About

• Look for which option is explicitly named in 46 CFR Subchapter J as a permissible starting aid, not just something that is commonly used on engines • Ask yourself which items might introduce additional fire or explosion risk, especially in an emergency space • Consider which of these systems is normally used to keep an engine at standby temperature rather than to chemically or mechanically boost starting

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Subchapter J that only one of these items is specifically described as a permissible starting aid for emergency diesel generators • Eliminate any option that involves volatile starting fluids or could significantly increase fire risk • Focus on the item that functions as a pre-heating method for reliable cold starts and is commonly accepted by class and flag for emergency sets
