🔍 Key Concepts

• Fuel oil service pumps purpose and location in the fuel system • Engine room fire/emergency safety features required for pumps • Difference between control/operational features vs emergency shutdown/safety features

💭 Think About

• Think about what feature lets you react quickly in an emergency, such as a fire or fuel leak involving that pump • Which option describes something that would be required for safety, not just convenient for normal operation? • Ask yourself which item is more likely to be found in the engine control/fire plan rather than just in the fuel piping diagram.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option directly relates to stopping fuel flow quickly in an emergency • Eliminate any choice that only controls combustion process at the burner rather than the pump itself • Consider SOLAS/USCG requirements that critical fuel pumps must have a means to be stopped from a safe/remote location
