(606) How much fuel is in a 22-foot section of 6-inch pipe?
- A.
  
  11 gallons
- B.
  
  22 gallons
- C.
  
  33 gallons
- D.
  
  44 gallons
Correct Answer
C. 33 gallons

Explanation
The amount of fuel in a pipe can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The formula is V = πr^2h, where V is the volume, r is the radius, and h is the height. In this case, the radius is half the diameter, so it is 3 inches. The height is the length of the pipe, which is 22 feet. Converting the measurements to the same unit, we have a radius of 0.25 feet and a height of 22 feet. Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = π(0.25)^2(22) = 33 gallons. Therefore, the correct answer is 33 gallons.

D. Allow reasonable time for the seals to adjust

Explanation
When a slight leak is noticed on a mechanical seal that has just been installed, the appropriate action to take is to allow reasonable time for the seals to adjust. This is because mechanical seals require some time to settle and form a proper seal. By allowing time for adjustment, the seals may tighten and the leak may stop on its own. Replacing the O-ring or the entire seal immediately may not be necessary if the leak is minor and can potentially resolve itself with time. Restarting the pump or replacing parts may not address the issue and could potentially cause further damage.

(612) The components of the 81AF, nonsurge check valve, are one check valve (CV) flow control, a variable position indicator (VPI) , and
- A.
  
  One hytrol check valve
- B.
  
  Two hytrol check valves
- C.
  
  One swing check valve
- D.
  
  Two swing check valves
Correct Answer
D. Two swing check valves

Explanation
The correct answer is two swing check valves. The question states that the components of the 81AF nonsurge check valve include a check valve (CV) flow control, a variable position indicator (VPI), and "two swing check valves." This implies that there are two swing check valves included in the 81AF nonsurge check valve.

(612) To speed up the opening time of an 81AF, nonsurge check valve, you must turn the check valve (CV) flow control adjusting screw
- A.
  
  Counterclockwise to increase
- B.
  
  Counterclockwise to decrease
- C.
  
  Clockwise to increase
- D.
  
  Clockwise to decrease
Correct Answer
C. Clockwise to increase

Explanation
To speed up the opening time of an 81AF, nonsurge check valve, you must turn the check valve (CV) flow control adjusting screw clockwise to increase. This means that by turning the screw in a clockwise direction, the flow control will be increased, resulting in a faster opening time for the check valve.

(612) Which of the following conditions would cause the 81AF, nonsurge check valve, to open too rapidly or have no control of the opening rate?
- A.
  
  A loose diaphragm washer
- B.
  
  Air in the main cover chamber
- C.
  
  A swing check valve disc stuck off its seat
- D.
  
  An obstruction between the disc and the seat of the main valve
Correct Answer
C. A swing check valve disc stuck off its seat

Explanation
If the swing check valve disc is stuck off its seat, it means that the disc is not properly seated and is not able to control the flow of fluid. This can cause the valve to open too rapidly or have no control over the rate of opening. When the disc is stuck off its seat, it can allow the fluid to flow freely without any restriction, leading to rapid or uncontrolled opening of the valve.

(612) When reverse flow occurs to an 81AF08, nonsurge check valve, how does fuel get to the cover chamber of the hytrol check valve?
- A.
  
  Through a drilled passage
- B.
  
  Through a pin hole in the hytrol check valve diaphragm
- C.
  
  Tubing connected from the inlet of the main valve to the cover chamber of the hytrol check
- D.
  
  Tubing connected from the outlet of the main valve to the cover chamber of the hytrol check
Correct Answer
A. Through a drilled passage

Explanation
When reverse flow occurs to an 81AF08, nonsurge check valve, fuel gets to the cover chamber of the hytrol check valve through a drilled passage.

(612) What is the standard opening rate for the 81AF-8, nonsurge check valve?
- A.
  
  10 seconds
- B.
  
  20 seconds
- C.
  
  30 seconds
- D.
  
  40 seconds
Correct Answer
B. 20 seconds

Explanation
The standard opening rate for the 81AF-8, nonsurge check valve is 20 seconds. This means that it takes approximately 20 seconds for the valve to fully open once it is activated.

(612) What would cause the 81AF-8, nonsurge check valve to fail to open?
- A.
  
  Loose diaphragm washer
- B.
  
  Hytrol check installed backwards
- C.
  
  Closed downstream manual valve
- D.
  
  Air in the main valve cover chamber
Correct Answer
C. Closed downstream manual valve

Explanation
If the downstream manual valve is closed, it will prevent the flow of fluid or air, causing the 81AF-8 nonsurge check valve to fail to open. The downstream manual valve acts as a barrier, blocking the passage of fluid or air and preventing it from reaching the check valve. As a result, the check valve cannot open and allow the flow to pass through.

(613) The newest filter/separator modification requires how many cartridges total for a 600-gpm filter/separator?
- A.
  
  15
- B.
  
  20
- C.
  
  25
- D.
  
  30
Correct Answer
D. 30

Explanation
The newest filter/separator modification requires a total of 30 cartridges for a 600-gpm filter/separator. This suggests that the modification involves a significant increase in the number of cartridges compared to previous versions. The higher number of cartridges is likely necessary to effectively filter and separate the fuel at a flow rate of 600 gallons per minute.

(613) In a horizontal filter/separator, what will change the position and to what valve will pressure be directed when the float of the pilot valve assembly is in the TOP position?
- A.
  
  Rotary disc; water drain valve
- B.
  
  Rotary disc; fuel discharge valve
- C.
  
  Adapter mounting rod; water drain valve
- D.
  
  Adapter mounting rod; fuel discharge valve
Correct Answer
B. Rotary disc; fuel discharge valve

Explanation
When the float of the pilot valve assembly is in the TOP position in a horizontal filter/separator, it will change the position of the rotary disc. This change in position of the rotary disc will direct the pressure to the fuel discharge valve.
