🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of liquids when temperature increases • How much fuel volume can change between cold loading and warmer operating conditions • The role of tank vents and ullage (empty space) in preventing overflows

💭 Think About

• If you load fuel when it is very cold, what happens to its volume later when the ship is operating in warmer conditions? • Which choice directly involves what happens when the fuel’s temperature changes after loading, rather than conditions only during fueling? • Why is it important to leave some empty space (ullage) in a fuel tank, especially when the fuel temperature may rise?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option is specifically about what happens after the fuel warms up, not just during the fueling operation. • Consider which choice connects most clearly to leaving ullage space in the tank to allow for volume changes. • Eliminate any options that don’t involve temperature-related volume change or that don’t explain why you shouldn’t completely top off a tank.
