02.2.7.2
Fuel oil sampling
Fuel oil samples can be drawn from different places in the fuel oil
system. Fuel samples “as bunkered” or “before the engine” (after
fuel oil separation and filtration) are perhaps the most common
sample types. From the engines point of view the most important
fuel oil sample is naturally the one which enters the engine, i.e. taken
after fuel oil separation and filtration. But if for example fuel oil
separator efficiency needs to be checked samples should be taken
just before and after the separator. It is not advisable to take
samples from tank bottom drain valves, since these will probably
contain high levels of water and sediment and thus the samples will
not be representative of the bulk phase.
02.2.8 Dispatch and transportation
Place the bottle with the “Ziploc” bag inside the IATA carton box
and fold the box according to the assembly instructions given on
the box. Enclose a copy of the "Bunker Receipt", if available, before
closing the last flap on the IATA carton.
Check the DNVPS Air Courier Directory and use appropriate label
for the IATA carton box to ensure that the sample is forwarded to
the nearest DNVPS laboratory. Complete the courier dispatch in-
structions on the side of the IATA carton. Fill in the DNVPS universal
account number (950 500 010) to prevent rejection from the courier
company (DHL). Complete the Proforma Invoice Form and tape it
to the outside of the IATA carton.
Call the air courier directly at the number as indicated in the Air
Courier Directory and request urgent pick-up, if necessary. When
the courier arrives you will need to complete an Airway Bill.
It is recommendable to handle the dispatching of the fuel oil and
lubricating oil samples at site. The results will be achieved faster
when the dispatching is handled at site and additionally it is illegal
to carry fuel oil samples as personal luggage on normal aeroplanes.
Support with interpretation of the analysis results and advice on
possible corrective actions is available from Wärtsilä, if needed.
