Which statement is FALSE concerning precautions during fueling operations?

A Fuel tanks should be topped off with no room for expansion.
B All windows, doors, hatches, etc. should be closed.
C A fire extinguisher should be kept nearby.
D All engines, motors, fans, etc. should be shut down when fueling.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A, as "Fuel tanks should be topped off with no room for expansion" is a false statement. During fueling operations, fuel tanks should not be completely filled to the top, as this does not allow room for fuel expansion. Leaving some space in the tank is important to prevent fuel spills and potential fire hazards. The other statements, B, C, and D, are all correct safety precautions that should be taken during fueling to mitigate the risk of fire or explosion.
