The use of gas turbines of the GTS Finnjet, matters concerned with maintenance and repair as a result of four years' experience (45.000 engine hours) in service, using light distillate fuel. The research and modifications required for changeover to blended residual fuel oils in gas turbines are then reviewed, as well as the first experiences (4.000 engine hours) in using the blended fuel oils during the summer of 1981. Finally we describe how the fuel economy was further improved by installing a diesel-electric machinery on the car deck to be used for manoeuvring and low season journeys. (Wassmann)
