10 questions, the third biggest topic. The ring is its size next to the biggest.
Inspection1 of 2
The answer
Answer: A. Check under and around the vehicle for signs of leaking before loading, unloading or driving. Tyres, mirrors and wipers matter on every vehicle, but on a tank vehicle a leak means lost cargo and possible harm, so the shell, valves and hoses come first in the inspection.

Inspection2 of 2
The answer
Answer: C. Dents or leaks in the shell are listed first among the general checks for a tank vehicle. Paint, tape, stickers and strap rust are cosmetic, whereas dents or leaks in the shell can mean the tank no longer holds its liquid safely, so those are what you look for.
