ISO-F-DMB and -DMC have viscosity limit of 11 or 14 mm
2
/s (cSt)/40 °C which is, however, not fully
utilized in commercial fuels from the large international fuel suppliers.
Pre-heating of the fuel can be dispensed with if the viscosity of the bunkered fuel at 40 °C is below
7 mm
2
/s (cSt).
If this value is exceeded and a pre-heating facility is not installed the next better quality should be
bunkered.
The fuel firms recommend that information about the available quality should be obtained in good
time from the places where bunkering is itended.
