Practice questions
Preparation prompts derived from this entry, not an official inspector interview script.
1Is tank level alone enough to confirm the reserve?
The available suitable fuel must support the full-load requirements for at least 18 hours, not simply show a high level.
2Where should the emergency-generator tank’s remote closing controls be?
In a location separate from the remote controls for other machinery-space tanks.
Where a finding may arise
Missing evidence or defects inconsistent with the checks above may prevent a satisfactory answer. These are preparation concerns derived from the question, not explicit additional finding criteria or reported past observations.
Past observations for practice
Anonymised reports, manually reviewed before publication. These are reported experiences, not additional inspection requirements.

Source clarification
The PDF repeats the oil-pipe tank-valve provision twice, once without a capacity threshold and once for tanks of 500 litres and above, without explaining the difference. This summary does not infer a small-tank exemption or universal retrofit rule from that duplication; use the vessel’s applicable approved arrangement.
