2. 4 Fuel impact on diesel engines Water. Water is undesirable in fuel when it is injected into the cylinders. In practice it is impossible to be entirely certain that the fuel is completely free of water. Sea water can lead to problems, because the sodium will get into the cylinder. fresh water should not lead to serious problems if it is evenly distributed in the fuel oil
2.4 Fuel impact on diesel engines • Water: Water is undesirable in fuel when it is injected into the cylinders. In practice it is impossible to be entirely certain that the fuel is completely free of water. Sea water can lead to problems, because the sodium will get into the cylinder. Fresh water should not lead to serious problems if it is evenly distributed in the fuel oil
2. 4 Fuel impact on diesel engines problems due to high water content can be: e. Steam formation cavitations and erosion of the components in the fuel injection system. Unstable and incomplete combustion. .. Salt water will lead to fouling and high temperature corrosion in the cylinder units and on the turbocharger
