Question 1127 Deck General

The correct answer is C) drained, blanked off, and stored securely. When bunkering (refueling) operations are complete, the hoses should be drained of any remaining fuel, the ends should be blanked off or capped to prevent spills, and the hoses should be stored in a secure location. This process helps prevent fuel leaks and ensures the hoses are ready for the next bunkering operation. The other options are incorrect because: A) simply stowing the hoses vertically does not adequately prepare them for storage, B) cleaning the hoses with a degreaser is not the standard procedure after bunkering, and D) washing the hoses with hot soapy water is also not the proper post-bunkering procedure.
