On small passenger vessels what device must you install under carburetors, other than the downdraft type, to allow ready removal of fuel leakage?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option D — A drip collector
46 CFR 119.458 requires that carburetors, other than the downdraft type, be equipped with a drip collector. This device is designed to catch any fuel leakage from the carburetor, preventing it from accumulating in the bilge where it could create a significant fire or explosion hazard.
