Based on what I recall, I think the presence of a diesel engine might push it to Extra Hazard - Group II, but I could be wrong.

I’m a bit confused about the difference between Group I and Group II. I feel like I need to review that part again.

I think we practiced a similar question in class, and I want to say it was Extra Hazard because of the fuel involved.

I remember studying about hazard classifications, but I'm not entirely sure if diesel engines fall under Ordinary or Extra Hazard.
