Carbon dioxide cylinders which protect machinery spaces, paint lockers and tanks may be located within those spaces when the amount of carbon dioxide does not exceed _______________.

A 150 lbs
B 300 lbs
C 450 lbs
D 600 lbs
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 300 lbs. According to the regulations, carbon dioxide cylinders that protect machinery spaces, paint lockers, and tanks may be located within those spaces when the amount of carbon dioxide does not exceed 300 lbs. This is specified in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 46, Section 76.15-5(d), which governs the requirements for fixed carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems on vessels. The other options are incorrect because 150 lbs (A) is too low, and 450 lbs (C) and 600 lbs (D) exceed the 300 lb limit set by the regulations.
