When fueling, it is important to ground the ship with regard to static electricity. Therefore, you must connect the __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Static electricity hazards during fueling operations • Purpose of a bonding cable between fueling equipment and the vessel • Correct sequence of connecting bonding cable and fuel hose

💭 Think About

• Before fuel starts flowing, what do you want to happen to any difference in electrical charge between the fueling source and the vessel? • Which connection actually moves fuel, and which connection equalizes electrical potential? Which should be made first to prevent a spark? • If you waited until you saw sparks, would that still be a prevention measure, or is that already a failure of safety?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which item is used specifically to equalize electrical potential (not to carry fuel). • Check which option makes sure the vessel and fueling system are at the same potential before fuel flow begins. • Eliminate any option that suggests acting after a spark or that depends on unrelated electrical devices like typical circuit breakers.

When fueling, it is important to ground the ship with regard to static electricity. Therefore, you must connect the __________.

fuel hose before the bonding cable

bonding cable only if sparks are seen

bonding cable before the fuel hose has been connected

bonding cable through a ground fault circuit breaker
