Gasoline tank vent lines on board small passenger vessels must be fitted with removable flame screens _______________.

A consisting of a single screen of at least 30 X 30 mesh, corrosion resistant wire
B three inches in circumference inside the fill pipe
C three inches in diameter with a check valve to prevent water from entering in heavy weather
D and 30 square inches of louvers
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Gasoline tank vent lines on board small passenger vessels must be fitted with removable flame screens consisting of a single screen of at least 30 X 30 mesh, corrosion resistant wire. This is the correct answer because the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) for small passenger vessels, specifically 46 CFR 182.425, states that gasoline tank vents must be fitted with removable flame screens consisting of a single screen of at least 30 x 30 mesh, corrosion-resistant wire. The other answer choices do not accurately reflect the regulatory requirements for gasoline tank vent lines on small passenger vessels.
