10 Marine Fuel Handling and Pre-treatment

BUNKERING ROUTINES
1. What kind of information should be Bunker Delivery Note contain?
- C Density at 15degC, viscosity at 50degC, water contain in % by volume and flash point in
degC
2. Fuel tanks should be sounded both before and after bukering. Should this be done on:
- C Both vessels.
3. Three samples should be collected during bunkering of fuels. What is to be done with these?
- A One sample should be kept onboard, one should be handed over to supplier and one should be
sent for analysis.
FUEL STORAGE AND PUMPING ONBOARD
1. Storage tanks should be kept at a certain temperature in order to allow reliable pumping of
high viscosity fuels. The temperature is:
- B 45degC
2. For heating of fuel oils, the temperature:
- A Should not exceed a temperature of 10degC below the actual flash point.
3. Two possible leakages may occur in the tank heating systems. How is this detected?
- C Loss of water in the steam and condensate systems or by spotting oil in the feed water system.
PRE-TREATMENT OF MARINE FUELS
1. What is the main difference between the purifier and the clarifier?
- B Clarifier does not remove water.
2. What is the difference in content between the setting tank and the service tank?
- C The settling tank contains untreated fuel oil, while the service tank contains purified fuel oil.
3. Which components can not be removed by the purifiers?
- A Sulphur and vanadium
FUEL IMPACT ON DIESEL ENGINES
1. Which one of these fuel parameters causes most damage to engine components?
- C Ash
2. What is the typical viscosity at the injection pumps?
- C 10-20cST
3. In which part of the liner do abrasive particles cause most damage?
- A Upper part
4. At which ratio is sodium to vanadium particularly undersirable?
- B 1:3
5. If running on fuel with bad ignition quality with long ignition delay. What is the best method
to reduce this delay?
- B increase scavenging temperature
