Sulphur Free Bunker Fuel, Beat Diesel Bug With Soltron
The Sulphur Free Gas Oil regulations make it an offence to sell Red Diesel with more than 10ppm (previously 1,000ppm) of sulphur for use in inland waterway craft and recreational craft that do not go to sea.
Some fuel suppliers offer red-dyed road fuel for use in marine craft. Road fuel contains up to 7% FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester or Biodiesel) which can cause problems in some, particularly older, engines and increase the risk of biological contamination (‘Diesel Bug’).
Esso Petroleum is investing in new equipment at Fawley Oil Refinery to produce FAME-free marine Red Diesel. It will be available from mid-2011.
Until then its dyed road diesel will be used to meet the legislation but unlike other suppliers, Esso guarantees that its product will only contain a maximum of 2% FAME, to reduce contamination risk.
WP Marine is helping marine Red Diesel users by offering Soltron, a widely-used enzyme designed to cut contamination, overcome Diesel Bug (irrespective of FAME content) and improve fuel consumption.
