🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR oil transfer hose and equipment requirements • Purpose of pre-transfer inspections before starting an oil transfer • How test questions often use "All of the above" when multiple statements are independently required by regulation

💭 Think About

• For each individual choice (A, B, C), ask yourself: does 33 CFR list this as a specific pre-transfer requirement? • Consider whether regulations usually focus on just one aspect (like hose support) or a combination of mechanical condition, alignment, and support before allowing oil transfer. • Think about what could realistically cause a spill during transfer and whether the regulation would likely require checks for all of those risk factors before starting.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether 33 CFR requires the hose physical condition (kinks, bulges, cuts) to be verified before transfer. • Check whether 33 CFR requires the system to be properly lined up for the flow of oil before transfer begins. • Check whether 33 CFR requires support of hoses to prevent strain on couplings during transfer operations.
