Blended (Heavy) fuels are usually described by their viscosity, expressed either in "centistokes" (cSt) or "Seconds Redwood". The Redwood scale at 100°F is being phased out and replaced by the centistokes scale at 50°C. The centistoke viscosity may be preceded by the letters IF for "intermediate fuel" or IBF for "intermediate bunker fuel". For example, IF 180 fuel has a viscosity of 180 cSt at 50°C. The following table gives the approximate relationship between the two scales. Fuel Properties

Ratings are based on SAE J1349 standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg) and 25°C (77°F). These ratings also apply at ISO 3046/1, DIN 6271 and BS 5514 standard conditions of 100 kPa (29.61 in Hg), 27°C (81°F) and 60% relative humidity.Fuel Rates are based on fuel oil of 35° API [16°C (60°F)] gravity having an LHV of 42 780 kJ/kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when used at 29°C (85°F) and weighing 838.9 g/liter (7.001 lbs/U.S. gal).Additional Formulas Used to Develop Marine Par Curves

Scheduled Oil Sampling If analysis of the used oil at the recommended oil change interval exceeds the condemning limits, the following courses of action can be taken:1. Modify the jacket water temperature and/or adjust the air-to-fuel to minimize the oil degradation rate.2. Shorten the oil change interval.3. Work with your oil supplier to arrive at an oil that will not exceed the limits.Maximum PPM (Parts Per Million) of Wear Metals Detected at 750 Hours to Achieve Projected Overhaul Interval
Oil Failure
Causes and Avoidance
Symptoms of oil failure are stuck piston rings, heavy piston deposits, sludged oil, plugged oil filters, rapid ring and liner wear, and high copper concentrations in oil analysis.It is important that oil analysis measure oxidation and nitration since they result in corrosive wear and accelerate oil degradation. Oxidation and nitration cause oil to thicken and form lacquer and maroon-colored deposits.The nitration rate of an oil is associated with the air-to-fuel ratio for the engine. There is evidence that suggests operating the engine with an air-to-fuel ratio between 10:1 and 11:1 promotes rapid nitration of the oil. This is the normal air-to-fuel ratio range for most Caterpillar Natural Gas Engines and permits the optimum fuel consumption at rated power. In this range, nitrous oxide (NOx) as measured in the exhaust stream is at its highest level. This range may cause the oil to degrade at an unacceptable rate.If nitration is determined to be the principal reason for oil degradation, it may be necessary to adjust the air-to-fuel ratio either higher or lower to minimize the nitration rate.If the air-to-fuel ratio is changed, it must be done with care because it may have a negative effect on the power of the engine or result in excessive exhaust temperature which could affect the service life of the engine.Engine Data
