According to the regulations, what fire safety control feature is required in quick-closing shut off valves?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — A fusible link

Marine engineering regulations require quick-closing shut-off valves on fuel and oil tanks to be equipped with fusible links. These links melt at specific elevated temperatures during a fire, automatically releasing the valve mechanism to stop fluid flow.
