Deck General USCG Q#1749 (Set 55)

Backfire flame arrestors are installed on __________.

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option A — carburetors

Backfire flame arrestors are required on gasoline-powered engines to prevent ignition of fuel vapors in the engine compartment. They are installed directly on the carburetor air intake to quench flames that might travel backward through the intake manifold during a backfire event, mitigating the risk of fire.
