Fuel and Oil Specifications
Fuel
Important
• It is 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 a taper tap, only use a ball valve
tap. The ball 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 lubricity, and may
adversely affect 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…
1. 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.
5. Must have low sulphur content.
6. Must have little residual carbon.
