2.2 Fuel storage and pumping onboard Water is disappearing from the feed water system. If water disappears from the feed water system: Check for steam leakage in the visible system. If not found, the leakage may be inside one of the tanks which means that steam is leaking into the fuel oil. The process of locating the leakage will be very time consuming, and when located, that particular part of the heating system must be isolated. The result may be that the fuel in the actual tank will be difficult to handle because of the lack of heating

2.2 Fuel storage and pumping onboard Oil is spotted in the feed water. If oil is spotted in the feed water: Lack of maintenance of the heating system may cause leakage, which means that fuel oil is leaking into the heating system. It is possible to discover this kind of leakage by performing regular inspections of the cascade tank water, steam traps, etc. at the suction side of the pumps. The process of locating the leakage will be very time consuming, and when located, the actual part of the heating system must be isolated. The result may be that the fuel in the actual tank will be difficult to handle because of lack of heating Maintenance and regular inspection of the fuel tank heating systems must be considered as good economy
