Fuel and Oil Specifications

Fuel
Important
• It as advisable to fit a fuel/water separator in the fuel supply system. Water
in the fuel can damage the injection system. However if the engine is being
fitted into an existing boat (re-installation), it is compulsory to fit a fuel/
water separator.
• If a fuel supply shutoff valve is fitted do not use taper tap, only use a ball
valve tap. The valve type are more reliable and less likely to let air into the
fuel system.
• Do not use kerosene, which is very low in cetane rating, and adversely
affects the engine.
• Be careful not to let the fuel tank become empty, or air can enter the fuel
system, necessitating bleeding before next engine start.
Fuel selection
The following criteria is required for the diesel fuel
. Must be free from minute dust particles
2. Must have adequate viscosity
3. Must have high cetane value
4. Must have high fluidity at low temperature
. Must have low sulphur content
6. Must have little residual carbon
