Gas Turbine Systems Technician – Mechanical (GSM) A School Test 1 Practice

The total capacity in an engine room is found by adding up the capacities of every fuel tank located in that room. This includes all main tanks, any day tanks, and any auxiliary tanks assigned to that space. You must include every tank that belongs to engine room #2 and not include tanks from other areas.

In this scenario, the problem provides the capacities of the tanks in engine room #2, and when you sum them, they total 38,000 gallons. That sum represents the total fuel capacity for that engine room. If you considered a different total, it would mean either omitting or double-counting a tank, or using different tank data than what’s specified for engine room #2.
