6.3.2
Fuel tanks
The fuel oil is first transferred from the bunker tanks to settling tanks for initial separation of
sludge and water. After centrifuging the fuel oil is transferred to day tanks, from which fuel is
supplied to the engines.
6.3.2.1
Settling tank, HFO (1T02) and MDF (1T10)
Separate settling tanks for HFO and MDF are recommended.
To ensure sufficient time for settling (water and sediment separation), the capacity of each
tank should be sufficient for min. 24 hours operation at maximum fuel consumption. The tanks
should be provided with internal baffles to achieve efficient settling and have a sloped bottom
for proper draining. The temperature in HFO settling tanks should be maintained between
50°C and 70°C, which requires heating coils and insulation of the tank. Usually MDF settling
tanks do not need heating or insulation, but the tank temperature should be in the range
20...40°C.
6.3.2.2
Day tank, HFO (1T03) and MDF (1T06)
Two day tanks for HFO are to be provided, each with a capacity sufficient for at least 8 hours
operation at maximum fuel consumption. A separate tank is to be provided for MDF. The
capacity of the MDF tank should ensure fuel supply for 8 hours. Settling tanks may not be
used instead of day tanks.
The day tank must be designed so that accumulation of sludge near the suction pipe is
prevented and the bottom of the tank should be sloped to ensure efficient draining. HFO day
tanks shall be provided with heating coils and insulation. It is recommended that the viscosity
is kept below 140 cSt in the day tanks. Due to risk of wax formation, fuels with a viscosity
lower than 50 cSt at 50°C must be kept at a temperature higher than the viscosity would
require. Continuous separation is nowadays common practice, which means that the HFO
day tank temperature normally remains above 90°C. The temperature in the MDF day tank
should be in the range 20...40°C. The level of the tank must ensure a positive static pressure
on the suction side of the fuel feed pumps.
If black-out starting with MDF from a gravity tank is foreseen, then the tank must be located
at least 15 m above the engine crankshaft.
6.3.2.3
Leak fuel tank, clean fuel (1T04)
Clean leak fuel is drained by gravity from the engine. The fuel should be collected in a separate
clean leak fuel tank, from where it can be pumped to the day tank and reused without
separation. The pipes from the engine to the clean leak fuel tank should be arranged continuosly
sloping. The tank and the pipes must be heated and insulated, unless the installation is designed
for operation on MDF only.
The leak fuel piping should be fully closed to prevent dirt from entering the system.
6.3.2.4
Leak fuel tank, dirty fuel (1T07)
In normal operation no fuel should leak out from the components of the fuel system. In
connection with maintenance, or due to unforeseen leaks, fuel or water may spill in the hot
box of the engine. The spilled liquids are collected and drained by gravity from the engine
through the dirty fuel connection.
Dirty leak fuel shall be led to a sludge tank. The tank and the pipes must be heated and
insulated, unless the installation is designed for operation exclusively on MDF.
