Questions and Answers

What is the primary function of a direct drain valve in a tank?

  • To release pressure from the tank
  • To drain the contents when installed at the lowest point (correct)
  • To filter impurities from the fuel
  • To regulate the flow of fuel within the tank
  • Which statement best describes an indirect drain valve?

  • It is the most common type of valve used in fuel tanks.
  • It requires a drain line to transfer fluid from the tank to the valve. (correct)
  • It can operate without a drain line connected to it.
  • It is always positioned at the lowest point of the tank.
  • What distinguishes a direct drain valve from an indirect drain valve?

  • The direct drain valve allows for automatic operation, while the indirect does not.
  • The direct drain valve requires no maintenance, whereas the indirect drain valve does.
  • The direct drain valve is located at the lowest point of the tank while the indirect drain valve is not. (correct)
  • The direct drain valve is larger than the indirect drain valve.

    Study Notes

    Direct Drain Valves

    • Installed at the lowest point of a tank
    • Allow for direct drainage of the tank

    Indirect Drain Valves

    • Installed at a point higher than the lowest point in the tank
    • Drain line connects the lowest point of the tank to the valve housing
    • Used when design or safety requirements prevent direct installation of a drain valve at the tank's lowest point
