For the better separating efficiency and the safety treatment o: the heavy fuel oil of high specific gravity and taining much impurity, it is recommended to perform the two stage cleaning with purifier and clarifier connected in series. ‘The diesel oil also is to be purified. ‘The additives for heavy fuel oil are s separator, combustion ace elevator, ete oper quantity of a: ve shall be used. 8.

This low grade fuel oils are difficult to identity as such from the report on oi] properties or specifications submitted by the supplier at the time of bunkering. Most troublesome, hence deserving of especially careful attention, is the fuei oil produced using tne fluid-catalytic-cracked residual as stock because minute particles of silica alumina used as catalyst in the fluid catalytic cracking persist co remain in the o11 and cause abnormal wear of the fuel injection pum:, fuel inscction valve, cylinder liner, piston ring, ete. Studies on the supplying ports, examples of troubles, and dealing and treat- ment of such low grade fuel oils have been recently progressed. However, how to treat effectively such oils when those are actually bunkered on ship is ot defined yet. For the time being, the following precautions shall be needed. 1.
