Question 1866 Deck General
70% to passWhich device is required to be installed under the carburetor of a gasoline engine?
A
Flame arrestor ONLY
B
Box of sawdust
C
Vent
D
Drip collector
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Drip collector. Under the regulations for gasoline engines on boats, a drip collector is required to be installed under the carburetor. This device is designed to catch any fuel drips or leaks from the carburetor, preventing the fuel from spilling onto hot engine parts and creating a fire hazard. The other answer choices are incorrect. A flame arrestor is not required under the carburetor, but rather in the fuel system to prevent flashbacks. A box of sawdust is not a regulated safety device. A vent is used for the fuel tank, not under the carburetor.
