Fuel and Fluid Characteristics Details about Diesel Marine and Aeronautical Engine
The engines can work with the full opecturn of crude oil distillates, from natural gas, alcohols, petrol, wood gas to the fuel oil from diesel oil to residual fuels.The type of fuel is a combustion of service ruquirements, and fuel costs. Good-quality disel fuel can be synthessised from vegetable oil and alcohol. Diesel fuel can be made from coal or other carbon base using the Fischer-Tropsch process. Biodiesel isgrowing in popularity since it can frequently be used in unmodefied engines, though production remains limited .
Pure plant oils are increasingly being as fuel for cars, trucks and remote combined heat and power generation especially in Germany where hundreads of decentralised small-and midium-sized oil presses cold oilseed, mainly rapeseed, for fuel. There is a Deautsches Institut fur Normung fuel standard for rapessed oil fuel.Petroleun-derived diesel in offten called petrodesel if there is need to destinguish the sorce of the fuel.
Fuel contaminants such as dirt and water are often more problematic in diesel engines than in petrol engines. Water can cause serious damage, due to corrosion, to the injection pump and injectors and dirt , even very fine particulate matter can damage the injection pumps due to the close tolerances that the pumps are machined to and all diesel engines will have a fuel filter and a water trap.
