Question 1 of 27070

On small passenger vessels, which device(s) must be fitted to a fuel line's tank connection?

🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for small passenger vessel fuel systems • Purpose of fittings at the fuel tank connection (safety vs. convenience) • Hazards of fuel leakage or line rupture on passenger vessels

💭 Think About

• For each device listed, ask yourself: is this specifically REQUIRED at the tank connection, or is it just commonly used somewhere in the fuel system? • Consider which device would directly help you stop fuel flow quickly in an emergency, like a fire or broken fuel line. • Think about which device, if installed incorrectly at the tank connection, could actually increase the risk of fuel spilling into the vessel.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fitting is explicitly required "at the tank connection" in 46 CFR for small passenger vessels. • Check whether a fuel strainer is required at the tank, at the engine, or simply somewhere in the system. • Consider whether tubular glass gauges are permitted on small passenger vessels’ fuel tanks, or if they have special restrictions.
