🔍 Key Concepts

• Gasoline vapor behavior in an enclosed space like a bilge • Basic fire triangle (fuel, oxygen, ignition source) on small vessels • Where vapors concentrate vertically relative to the source of ignition

💭 Think About

• Think about where gasoline vapors tend to collect in a compartment and how that relates to the bilge location. • Which option directly addresses fire or explosion risk rather than convenience or comfort? • Which choices might be benefits, but are not the primary safety reason in marine safety regulations and best practice?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify what is unique about gasoline vapors vs. air (heavier or lighter?). • Check which answer speaks to ignition of accumulated vapors, not just water or temperature. • Eliminate answers that sound like general conveniences and focus on the primary safety hazard in engine spaces.
