Where is the remote shut-off located on MC/DOT 306/406?

• A. Right front corner.
• B. Left front corner.
• C. Left rear corner.
• D. Top right corner.

Answer: (B)

The remote shut-off is placed where it can stop product flow quickly and safely, without forcing the operator to reach over hot surfaces, around hoses, or into traffic. For MC/DOT 306/406 low‑pressure cargo tanks, locating the remote shut-off at the left front corner gives convenient access from the driver’s side or curb side, while keeping the control near the front where the discharge line(s) are most readily isolated. This position minimizes the distance and exposure needed to shut down flow in an emergency and keeps the valve protected yet reachable. Placing it on the opposite side or toward the rear would make quick access harder and could delay shutdown, increasing risk during an incident.
