Which statement is true concerning drain inspection tanks?

AThey collect condensate from the cargo tank heating coils only.
BThey are discharged to the condensate system just forward of the feed pump.
CInspection tanks provide for a visual examination of condensate which could be oil contaminated.
DInspection tanks collect all HP drains.
AI Explanation

The correct answer is C) Inspection tanks provide for a visual examination of condensate which could be oil contaminated. This is correct because inspection tanks are designed to allow visual inspection of the condensate collected from the cargo tank heating coils. This allows the operator to check for any potential oil contamination in the condensate before it is discharged to the condensate system. The other options are incorrect because: A) Inspection tanks collect condensate from more than just the cargo tank heating coils; B) Inspection tanks do not discharge directly to the condensate system, they provide a visual check first; and D) Inspection tanks do not collect all HP drains, they are specifically for the condensate from the cargo tank heating coils.
