1. General
Almost all mineral residual and distillate and some renewable fuels can be burned in a
diesel engine if applicable procedures are done. But, the quality of the fuel will have
an effect on the frequency of overhauls and the work necessary to prepare the fuel. It
is the primary economic considerations that according to the type, size and speed of
the engine, and its application gives the fuel quality margins.
Gas oils and diesel oils (distillates) can be used in all WinGD engines with some
limits. WinGD 2-stroke diesel engines are designed to operate on up to 700 mm
2
/s
(cSt) at 50_viscosity heavy fuel oil (ISO 8217:2010 RMK 700 grade) if sufficient fuel
heating and treatment is done. When fuels with a very low sulphur content are used,
operators must be careful when running-in new piston rings and cylinder liners.
