• Which types of connections are most commonly permitted for pressurized diesel fuel lines on inspected vessels? • Which methods might be more appropriate for permanent piping versus removable tubing connections? • Think about which options could be more prone to leaks or heat damage in a diesel fuel system.
• Locate the specific wording in 46 CFR Subchapter F – Marine Engineering about diesel fuel oil steel tubing connections • Check which methods are explicitly authorized for steel tubing, not just generally used for piping • Make sure the selected method allows for a mechanically secure, pressure‑tight joint appropriate for diesel fuel service
