Areduce the loading rate when topping off
Bfill one tank at a time
Cclose the tank filling valves quickly
Dtop off all tanks at the same time
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) reduce the loading rate when topping off. To avoid excessive pressures in the fuel oil filling system during bunkering, it is important to reduce the loading rate when topping off the tanks. This helps prevent a sudden pressure surge that could damage the system. Closing the tank filling valves quickly (option C) could also help, but reducing the loading rate is a more effective way to control the pressure. Filling one tank at a time (option B) or topping off all tanks at the same time (option D) would not directly address the issue of excessive pressures.
