Operational Advice
Total Sediment Fuel stability is suspect and increased sludging is likely to occur in all
tanks, e.g. bunker tanks, settling and service tanks, which will result in
operational problems with separators and filters. The use of this fuel is
therefore not recommended. Do not mix with another fuel and avoid
prolonged storage at high temperatures. Consider to inspect bunker
tanks for excessive sludge build-up for next bunkering.

Al+Si Fuel contains catalytic fines as indicated by aluminium + silicon.

Increased wear of liners, piston rings, injectors and fuel pumps is likely
when these highly abrasive particles are not reduced by at least 66%.

System samples Representative tank samples should be collected from each tank where
the fuel has been stored and should be sent at first opportunity for
testing in order to assess the current conditions.

unavoidable.
