Diesel engines consume Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO),Marine Diesel oil (MDO) or Intermediate Fuel Oil (IFO).

Modern Diesel engines are runon IFO, a fuel whose grade lies between that of HFO and MDO.

HFO is a residual oil that is made suitable for driving Diesel engines by adding certain flammable substances.

MDO is a high-grade fuel of low viscosity that is used when the vesselis manoeuvring.

From the Heavy Fuel Oil bunkertankthe preheated fuel is led to the settling tank.

Settling tank

In the settling tank water and impurities are separated from the fuel and drained off.

From the settling tank the fuel is led through a heater to preheat the fuel.

From the heater the fuel is led through a separator (purifier / clarifier) to purify the fuel.

From the separator the fuel enters the daily service tank for HFO.

There are two daily service tanks, so that one tank may be used while the other is being filled.

A mixing tank is used for a gradual transition from HFO to DO.

Modern Diesel engines are run on IFO, a fuel whose grade lies between that of HFO and MDO.

HFO is a residual oil that is made suitable for driving Diesel engines by removing certain flammable substances.

MDO is a low-grade fuel of high viscosity that is used when the vessel is manoeuvring.
