70% to pass

On small passenger vessels, shut-off valves must be installed on both gasoline and diesel fuel supply lines _______________.

A at the tank and the engine end of the fuel line
B outside the engine room on the fill and vent lines
C only at the tank end of the fuel line
D only at the engine end of the fuel line
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) at the tank and the engine end of the fuel line. This is because the regulations require shut-off valves to be installed at both the tank and the engine end of the fuel supply lines on small passenger vessels. This redundancy ensures that the fuel supply can be quickly and easily shut off in an emergency, regardless of where the issue arises along the fuel line. The other options are incorrect because they either do not cover both ends of the fuel line (C and D) or apply the requirement to the wrong components (B).
