Question 1941 Deck General
70% to passIt is recommended that drip collectors required on all updraft carburetors be drained by _______________. (small passenger vessel regulations)
The correct answer is B) a device to automatically return all drip to the engine air intakes. This is the correct answer because the small passenger vessel regulations require that drip collectors on updraft carburetors be drained by a device that automatically returns the drip to the engine air intakes. This helps prevent fuel leaks and potential fire hazards by ensuring the drip is properly managed and directed back into the engine system. The other options are incorrect because A) no means of draining the drip collectors is not allowed, C) using a pump to drain to a point outside the hull is not the recommended method, and D) draining to the bilges is also not the approved approach according to the regulations.
