For the liquid fuel leak inspection, should the vehicle be raised, hoisted, or lifted?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only if on a hoist
• D. Only with supervisor approval

Answer: (A)

For this liquid fuel leak inspection, you assess the fuel system with the vehicle resting on the ground, not raised. Keeping the car on the ground allows you to observe leaks in the same position they would occur during normal use—watching for puddles, wet hoses, and fuel staining around connections, clamps, and the fuel tank. Lifting or hoisting isn’t part of the standard procedure because it can hide leaks, change the way components sit, and create unnecessary safety hazards around fuel vapors and ignition sources. There’s no need for supervisor approval here; the procedure is to inspect with the vehicle on the ground.
