Q

Which device is required to be installed under the carburetor of a gasoline engine?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Gasoline engine fire safety on vessels (46 CFR and basic USCG requirements) • Where a flame arrestor is normally located on a carbureted engine • How fuel leaks from a carburetor are controlled to keep gasoline out of the bilge

💭 Think About

• Think about which device would logically sit directly under a carburetor and why it would be there from a safety standpoint. • Ask yourself which option is meant to catch or control leaking gasoline, versus which options deal with air intake or are clearly not standard engine equipment. • Consider how boats manage the risk of gasoline vapor explosions in enclosed engine spaces—what part in the list helps prevent fuel from reaching the bilge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify where a flame arrestor is typically installed (above or below the carburetor?). • Decide which listed item’s main purpose is to contain or collect leaking fuel from the carburetor area. • Eliminate any options that are not realistic, permanent engine-room equipment required by regulation.
