The bunker oil (bunker fuel) cannot be easily mistaken for the diesel fuel
we use in our diesel engines. To start with, at ambient temperatures, it is
more like soft butter than liquid. You have to heat it up a bit (steam?) to
make it flow.

Not sure what the article Rob was reading was about, but I was in the
merchant navy (British) when I first left school, and we burned what was
(...and still is) called bunker fuel, in our large marine diesels. It was
thicker and dirtier, if I remember correctly, than the diesel you buy at gas
stations.
Maybe that is what the article was referring to.

Here we had a product called marine gas oil or various other names that
was not diesel but could be used in diesel engines. There was a price
savings.
However, some found it more susceptible to algae growth. Our Corps patrol
boat developed a serious problem with algae and we stopped using it. My
understanding was that the CG here stopped as well.
I go to a station where I see a lot of trucks and of course use a
conditioner.
I especially use a sulfur conditioner since my engine was built before the
new low sulfur rules. Can't remember what it is right now.

I was reading an article
that made reference to 'marine diesel fuel'
versus 'diesel fuel' . The article
did not go into detail as to whether
or not
there is actually a difference between the two. I always
thought
that a 'diesel engine'
whether marine or otherwise burned the same fuel
Was this simply the
'writer's interpretation' in that diesel used
for
marine purposes is somehow different
from diesel used for say, diesel
powered
automobiles?
This is
probably a stupid question and if so, tell me.
