🔍 Key Concepts

• 46 CFR requirements for ventilation of fuel tank and engine compartments on uninspected towing vessels • Difference between an intake duct and an exhaust duct, and where each should terminate relative to the bilge • How flash point of fuel (around 100° F) affects mandatory mechanical/natural ventilation arrangements

💭 Think About

• Look at which choices describe air coming in versus going out of the compartment, and think about where heavier-than-air fuel vapors will collect • Ask yourself: For safety, do you want the duct that handles potentially explosive vapors to start near the bottom of the bilge or up high? • Compare the wording in each choice with how the CFR typically phrases ventilation rules: does it say intake or exhaust has to reach the lower bilge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in 46 CFR Part 25 (Ventilation) what it says specifically for uninspected towing vessels using fuel with flash point 110° F or less • Check carefully whether the regulation requires the intake duct or the exhaust duct to reach the lower portion of the bilge • Confirm whether the regulation specifies a minimum number of ducts or only requires a particular arrangement of intake vs. exhaust
