Question 67Safety & Environmental - QMED
70% to passThe survival craft engine is fueled with _______________.
Akerosene
Bunleaded gasoline
Cdiesel oil
Dliquefied gas
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) diesel oil. Survival craft engines, such as those used in lifeboats and life rafts, are typically powered by diesel engines. Diesel oil is the standard fuel used for these engines, as it is more stable and less volatile than other fuel types like gasoline or kerosene. This makes diesel oil safer for use in the confined spaces of a survival craft, where the risk of fire or explosion must be minimized. The other options are incorrect because kerosene (A) and unleaded gasoline (B) are not the recommended fuels for survival craft engines, and liquefied gas (D) is not a common fuel source for these types of engines.
