The paper describes a 2 1/2 year project to investigate both short and long term effects that extreme marine residual fuel qualities could have on shipboard handling, preparation and engine performance. The investigations were carried out on a 44800 T deadweight 'LASH' vessel, powered by a Sulzer 9RND90 two-stroke crosshead diesel engine. Presented are: Concept and scope of project; Realization; Selected fuels investigated; Fuel handling, preparation - results and comments; Engine performance. The correct handling of residual fuels is of fundamental significance and the role of fuel preparation must generally be uprated when planning and running diesel installations. The experience gained during the 2 1/2 years project with extreme fuel qualities and from engines presently operating with low grade fuel is further proof that the Sulzer range of diesel engines can economically and reliably deal with all residual fuel qualities.
