Deck General USCG Q#1717 (Set 54)

For what purpose may gasoline be used on small passenger vessels?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — None of the above

46 CFR 182.460 strictly prohibits the use of gasoline for cooking, heating, or lighting on small passenger vessels. Due to its high volatility and low flash point, gasoline is restricted solely to propulsion, and even then, it requires rigorous ventilation and fire safety protocols.
