    1) Makita issued guidelines for using low-sulfur fuel oil due to new environmental regulations limiting sulfur emissions. 2) Low-sulfur fuel oil can cause problems with cylinder lubrication if not addressed properly. Makita recommends using lower TBN cylinder oil (TBN 40) with low-sulfur fuel to avoid deposits, and checking cylinder conditions after 48 hours. 3) Fuel viscosity should be kept above 2 cSt at the engine inlet to prevent pump and stick issues. Tables provide details on fuel grade properties and regulations.

    MAKITA CORPORATION

    Guideline for using low-sulphur fuel oil
    Section Chief N. Inoue
    Drawn By Y. Fukuoka
    ENGINE TYPE All type.
    Revision 1: Reworking content and add the engine type (July 5, 2009)
    Revision 2: Reworking content and add some examples (November 28, 2011)

    We would like to provide our guidelines for using “low-sulphur fuel oil”.

    1. Background
    Recently, the limit of SOx emission from the vessel becomes more and strict due to the
    environmental requirement.

    The regulation of book6 attached to the MARPOL73/78 treaty adopted in MEPC60


    (Marine Environmental Protection Committee) of IMO held in March, 2010
    acknowledged appointing additionally the sea area within North America and Canada
    coast 200 nautical miles as well as Baltic sea and North sea area as new ECA
    (Emission Control Area, that is, the sea area that regulates a NOx discharge and
    sulphur of the use fuel oil strictly). It is started to regulate on August 1, 2012.
    Regarding Puerto Rico, it is started to regulate on January 1, 2014.

    2. Problem of using low-sulphur fuel oil; 2 points


    a) Matching of cylinder oil
    b) The low sulphur and low viscosity make problem which is poor lubrication

    3. The advice for the point


    3.1 Matching for cylinder oil
    When using the low-sulphur fuel oil and high TBN cylinder oil (TBN70), the deposit
    is increased by the excessive alkalinity in cylinder oil. Therefore, the lower TBN
    (TBN40) is better for avoiding these troubles.
    Recently most of new vessels have two cylinder oil tanks. In this case it is easy to
    change cylinder oil.
    However, if she does not have two tanks, she has no choice but to use TBN70.
    It is possible to use cylinder oil (TBN70) to maximum of two weeks.
    We would like to recommend checking the cylinder condition at the earliest
    opportunity after app. 48 hours operation with low-sulphur fuel oil and cylinder oil
    (TBN70). If the deposit is remarkably increased, the cylinder lubrication oil dosage
    is to be reduced and further careful inspection would be requested.

    MAKITA SERVICE NOTE
    *****************************
    3.2 The low sulphur and low viscosity make problem which is poor lubrication
    Most of available fuel oil with low sulphur content has a property of low viscosity.
    In case of too many low viscosity fuel oil, there is a risk such as fuel pump seizure
    and stick due to the less lubricity in the fuel oil.
    Therefore, please keep a fuel oil viscosity at 2.00 cSt over measured at the engine
    inlet.
    3.3 The regulations on fuel oil

    Table 1. The regulation on sulphur content of fuel oil

    IMO Sox Regulation 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
    Global ≦4.50% ≦3.50% ≦0.50%

    in ECA ≦1.5% ≦1.00% ≦0.10%

    ↑in North America and Canada from August 1st, 2012

    Local Sox Regulation


    ≦1.00%MGO
    CARIFORNIA ≦0.10%MGO ≦0.10%MDO
    ≦0.50%MDO

    The low sulphur fuel oil has two grades. One is MGO (Marine Gas Oil); the other is
    MDO (Marine Diesel Oil).
    The next table is major component.

    Table 2. The fuel property defined by ISO8217 (2010)


    MGO MDO
    GRADE
    DMX DMA DMZ DMB
    Sulphur %(m/m) Max. 1.00 Max. 1.50 Max. 1.50 Max. 2.00
    Viscosity cSt@40 Min. 1.40 Min. 2.00 Min. 3.00
    Min. 2.00
    (degree C) Max. 5.50 Max. 6.00 Max. 6.00
    Flash point (degree C) Min. 43 Min. 60 Min. 60 Min. 60

    The lowest limit of the viscosity for DMX and DMA are 1.40 cSt and 2.00 cSt by
    ISO8217 (2010).
    If these fuel oils are used, the present FO system is unable to deal with our
    recommendation viscosity at engine inlet.

    The next table is relationship fuel oil temperature and viscosity.


    For example, it assumes that the fuel oil maximum temperature is the same engine
    room temperature and it is 45 degree.
    In this case, if the vessel uses the viscosity over 2.2 cSt@40 degree C fuel oil, there is no
    need to modify FO system.

    We do not recommend using to DMX for the safety reasons as they have low flash point.

    3.4 Influence on cylinder condition.

    AA: Lubrication to cylinder is to be reduced appropriately (prevention of excessive


    lubrication).
    Cylinder condition is to be inspected and to be confirmed as in good condition.
    According to our recommend schedule of cylinder oil adjustment, the dosage is to
    be reduced gradually, in steps, taking care that the actual feed rate is not less
    than the Minimum Feed Rate of K-1 data. (Refer to K-1 data with Operation and
    Data manual)

    BB: Cylinder condition is to be inspected carefully, by inspection through the


    scavenging port.
    * No excessive carbon deposit is found on piston top land and ring land.
    * No abnormal condition mentioned below is found around sliding surface of piston
    rings.
    • Micro seizure / Scuffing
    • Hard contact mark
    • Seized scratch mark
    * No abnormal condition mentioned below is found on sliding surface of cylinder
    liner.
    • Bore polish mark
    (The mark shows on the part of sliding surface of cylinder liner due to oil
    starvation caused by rubbing with carbon deposits on piston top land.)
    • Hard contact mark
    • Seized scratch mark
    * No excessive or insufficient cylinder oil dosage.
    No excessive cylinder oil or scavenging drain is adhered onto surface of piston ring
    and ring land of piston crown.
    Moreover, dry condition due to shortage of lubrication is not observed.
    Please refer to photo of example as next page.
    * In case that some abnormality is observed on cylinder condition, we would like to
    ask you to contact MAKITA.
