🔍 Key Concepts

• Pollution prevention requirements during fuel transfers • Difference between temporary fixes and proper corrective action for fuel hoses • Responsibility of the Person in Charge (PIC) during bunkering or fueling

💭 Think About

• Think about what action best prevents any chance of further leakage once fueling resumes, not just while it is stopped. • Consider which options are truly permanent and safe versus those that might only control or hide a leak. • Ask yourself: if the hose has already started leaking under pressure, what does that say about the condition of that hose?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option eliminates the defect rather than working around it. • Eliminate any choice that still allows fuel to escape if pressure increases again. • Consider which action would most likely comply with company policy and U.S. Coast Guard pollution regulations for transfer equipment.
