What material is allowed in construction of the hull of a vessel with an integral diesel fuel tank?

A Copper-nickel or copper silicon alloys
B Steel or aluminum
C Sandwich style fiberglass with a natural rubber core
D Any or all of the above
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) Steel or aluminum. The construction materials allowed for the hull of a vessel with an integral diesel fuel tank are typically limited to steel or aluminum. This is due to safety and regulatory requirements that aim to prevent potential ignition sources and ensure the structural integrity of the vessel. Copper-nickel, copper-silicon alloys, and sandwich-style fiberglass with a natural rubber core are not commonly used for this type of vessel construction, as they may not meet the necessary standards for fuel tank integration and overall safety.
