I think we need to consider the environment too. Extra Hazard is safer.

I’m with Pamella. Diesel is a big concern.

Nah, Extra Hazard - Group II is definitely the way to go. Better safe than sorry.

I feel Ordinary Hazard - Group I could work too. Depends on the setup.

But the diesel fuel increases the risk. Extra Hazard is safer.

I’m leaning towards Ordinary Hazard - Group II. It’s not as dangerous as it seems.

I agree, Extra Hazard - Group II makes sense. More flammable materials.

I think it should be Extra Hazard - Group II. Diesel engines can be risky.

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.
