Q

If a leak in a fueling hose coupling cannot be stopped by tightening the coupling joint, you should __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Safe bunkering / fueling procedures and when operations must be stopped • Environmental protection rules about oil and fuel spills • Hierarchy of actions: prevent the spill first, then notify and clean up

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if fuel is actively leaking from a hose coupling, what is the first priority action to prevent more pollution or fire risk? • Which choice directly eliminates the cause of the leak, instead of just reducing, containing, or reporting it? • Which options are more like supporting actions (good but secondary) rather than the immediate required response?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option actually stops the transfer of fuel through the leaking connection. • Confirm which choice best aligns with standard bunkering safety procedures (you never continue pumping through faulty gear). • Make sure the option you pick addresses cause first, then considers control/cleanup or reporting as later steps.
