Cat fines
Cat fines cause cylinder liners to become worn. Cat fines are attached to water droplets and
are very difficult to remove from the fuel. With correct treatment in the fuel separator, the
aluminum and silicon content of 60 ppm (mg/kg) can be decreased to 15 ppm (mg/kg), which
is thought to be satisfactory. For satisfactory separation, a fuel temperature as close as
possible to 98°C is recommended. A decreased fuel flow rate through the separator gives
a better separation. This is because the fuel stays in the separator for a longer period. Also
obey the instructions of the equipment manufacturer.
Cat fines can collect in the sediment of the fuel tank from other bunkers. During bad weather
conditions, the movement of the ship mixes the sediment into the fuel. Thus, it is better to
think that all fuels contain cat fines, although it is possible that a fuel analysis can show a
different result. Thus do also regular procedures to remove sludge and cat fines from the
fuel that is in the settling tank and the service tanks.
12.11.3.12 Used Lubricating Oil and Chemical Waste
Used lubricating oils and chemical waste must not be mixed into the fuel. If you do so, the fuel
would not be stable because the base oil is very paraffinic and can cause too much sludge. Most
used lubricating oil is from the crankcase, thus large quantities of calcium, zinc, phosphorous and
other additives and wear metals can cause contamination. The limits in ISO 8217:2017 and the
WinGD specifications make sure that no used lubricating oil is in the fuel.
Chemical waste (eg polymers, styrene and other chemical substances) must not be added to the
fuel. These materials can cause the fuel to become too thick, to become almost solid and thus can
cause blocked filters. They can also cause corrosive attacks and damage to the fuel injection
system.

Distillate Fuel Specifications
Since 2015 more frequently distillate fuels are used in 2-stroke engines to obey the new ECA rules.
Distillate fuels are easier to operate than residual fuel, but caution is necessary for some problems.
In ISO 8217:2017 there are specified the DMX, DMA, DMZ and DMB grades and the new DFA,
DFZ and DFB grades with a maximum fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) content of 7.0 volume %.
The WinGD specifications use the DMB grade which is the highest viscosity grade, refer to
12-13 - Specifications for distillate fuels
. The DMX grade is not applicable for use in 2-stroke
engines because of its low flash point and viscosity.
