🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for fuel systems on small passenger vessels (especially parts dealing with carburetors and leak control) • Purpose of a device installed under a carburetor on gasoline engines (fire prevention and containment of leaks) • Difference between a general absorbent item and a specifically designed fuel drip collection device

💭 Think About

• Ask what the main safety concern is with fuel leaking from a carburetor in an enclosed engine space on a small passenger vessel. • Consider which option describes a device that is purpose-built, fixed in place, and intended for ongoing use rather than a temporary or makeshift solution. • Think about which choice matches the type of terminology you would expect to see written in 46 CFR for an approved installation requirement.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option sounds like a permanent, installed device rather than something you would casually place under an engine. • Check which choice is clearly meant to collect and allow removal of liquid fuel instead of merely soaking it up. • Make sure the term you pick is consistent with typical regulatory/technical wording used in U.S. Coast Guard regulations, not informal shop language.
