Andrei,

This might shed some light on what No 2 is

Hi,

K1W1, thanks for a link provided. Are these "Number 1 and Number 2" somehow comparable as Marine Gas Oil (MGO) and Marine Diesel Oil (MDO) ?

Best regards,

Andrei

Andrei,

Here is the price of the former-

I will respond with more details when I can either link or c and p some if you need quicker or better you can always data or PM me

I am currently loaded with over 200 tons of some type of diesel fuel which was sold as Automotive Diesel I am in water in a Nthn. Location and it has a wax point of above 8 deg C so I have my own fuel issues. The Lab tests do not resemble anything with this flash point sold in gas stations. I am waiting to see how the various retained samples resemble the spec sheets we were provided with at the time of last bunkering. We loaded some 190 tons then so the problems we now have originate there I would say.

We are currently waiting for tests to see what other nasty surprises we are in for. One that I have managed to bypass is the suggestion we add hydraulic oil to the fuel to re dissolve the wax formation.

Brain Teaser:

Bearing in mind we are looking for the same stuff we run in cars, is there anyone out here on the boards who can tell me what problems we could have other than viscosity control if we added Hydraulic Oil to normal modern automotive diesel.

Hi,

It looks like we've got far away from turbine question...

K1W1, thanks for a link once again. Yes, looks like it's about MDO/MGO.
But they also can be as DMA/DMX and DMB/DMC.
