70% to passAccording to 46 CFR, Part 30, a Grade "E" petroleum product is _______________.
Aa combustible liquid
Blight fuel oil
Ca flammable liquid
Dkerosene
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) a combustible liquid. According to 46 CFR Part 30, which governs the transportation of hazardous liquids, a Grade "E" petroleum product is defined as a combustible liquid. Combustible liquids have a flashpoint at or above 100°F, and are regulated differently than flammable liquids which have a flashpoint below 100°F. The other options are incorrect because: B) light fuel oil is a type of distillate fuel, not a regulatory grade; C) a flammable liquid has a flashpoint below 100°F; and D) kerosene is a specific type of Grade "E" combustible liquid, not the general definition of the grade itself.
