Why should the fuel tank be closed and any spillage cleaned up immediately after fueling?

  1. To prevent attracting sea animals

  2. To avoid overfilling the tank

  3. To prevent water contamination

  4. To prevent a build-up of static electricity

The correct answer is: To avoid overfilling the tank

After fueling, the fuel tank should be closed and any spillage cleaned up immediately to avoid overfilling the tank. Option A is incorrect because it is not stated that sea animals are attracted to fuel. Option C is incorrect because it mentions water contamination which is not relevant to fueling. Option D is incorrect because static electricity would only be a concern during the fueling process, not after it. Therefore, option B is the most accurate and relevant answer.
