The correct answer is D) The fuel tank must be inerted with CO2. The requirement for preparation of used, gasoline-propelled cars to be carried as ordinary cargo and not as hazardous cargo does not include inerting the fuel tank with CO2. The other requirements are: 1) The vehicle must be inspected for fuel leaks (A) 2) The engine must be run until it dies from lack of fuel (B) 3) The ignition key may not be in the ignition (C) Inerting the fuel tank with CO2 is not a necessary requirement for transporting these vehicles as ordinary cargo, as long as the other precautions are taken to ensure the vehicles are safe for transport.
