Deck General USCG Question #905 (Set 28)

Which statement is TRUE concerning combustible gas indicators?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option D — They do not work properly where there is a lack of oxygen.

Catalytic filament combustible gas indicators require adequate ambient oxygen to combust the sample gas across the sensor; without sufficient oxygen, readings become erroneously low, creating a severe safety hazard during tank entry.
