Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR) require remote controls for stopping fuel oil service pumps. These controls shall be __________.
• 46 CFR requirements for fuel oil system safety features • Purpose of remote emergency stops on fuel oil service pumps • How regulations address accidental activation vs. restricted access
• Ask yourself: In an emergency, who might need to operate a remote fuel pump stop and how quickly? • Would regulations favor making the control harder to reach (for security) or safer to use quickly (for emergency shutdown)? • Which choice best reflects prevention of an unintended shutdown rather than controlling who is allowed to use it?
• Check 46 CFR language that describes protection against unintentional or accidental operation of emergency stops. • Verify whether the regulation mentions anything about being locked or limited to authorized personnel. • Confirm that the correct option focuses on the safety function of the device itself, not on where it is located or who may touch it.
