🔍 Key Concepts

• Oil pollution regulations in 33 CFR Part 155 and the general prohibition on discharging oil overboard • Safe fuel-handling practices to prevent fire hazards and pollution • Where fuel or oily residues are allowed to be contained or collected on board

💭 Think About

• Which options would cause oil or fuel to enter the water or remain in the boat where vapors could accumulate? • Think about which method allows you to control and properly dispose of any remaining fuel in the hose later on. • Ask yourself: which options would clearly violate no-discharge and pollution-prevention rules?

✅ Before You Answer

• Eliminate any choice that would discharge fuel directly overboard. • Eliminate any choice that would send fuel to the bilges, where dangerous vapors can build up. • Focus on the choice that keeps fuel contained for later proper disposal, not released.
