Question 326Safety & Environmental - Assistant Engineer

The correct answer is B) a combustible liquid. According to 46 CFR Part 30, a Grade "E" petroleum product is considered a combustible liquid. Combustible liquids are defined as liquids with a flashpoint at or above 100°F (37.8°C) and below 200°F (93.3°C). This distinguishes them from flammable liquids, which have a flashpoint below 100°F (37.8°C). The other answer choices are incorrect because kerosene (A) is a combustible liquid, not a Grade "E" product, light fuel oil (D) is a Grade "D" product, and flammable liquids (C) have a lower flashpoint than the definition for a Grade "E" product.
