Question 1938 Deck General

The correct answer is D) All of the above. This is because the regulations for gasoline fill pipes on small passenger vessels require that the fill pipe: 1) Terminate on the weather deck and extend to within one-half of its diameter from the bottom of the tank, to prevent gasoline from splashing or spilling inside the vessel. 2) Be fitted with a suitably marked watertight deck plate or screw cap, to prevent the escape of gasoline vapors when the tank is not in use. 3) Be arranged so that neither liquid gasoline nor its vapors can overflow or escape inside the vessel, to mitigate the risk of fire or explosion. All three of these requirements must be met to comply with the relevant regulations for the design and installation of gasoline fill pipes on small passenger vessels.
