The ash content of a fuel oil is significant because it _____

is non-combustible and remains partly in the engine.
reflects the overall thermal efficiency of the fuel oil.
is useful for determining proper atomization temperatures.
indicates the quantity of energy released by burning a unit amount of the fuel.

The fuel delivery pipe between fuel pump and injector, is shown here as a red interrupted line. For ' UMS ' classed vessel, how is this pipe best described ?

It needs to be a shielded pipe so that in case of rupture the fuel leakage can be contained and the alarm sounded.
It must be provided with sensors so that the corresponding fuel pump cuts out in case of rupture.
It is manufactured of high tensile steel and has to have thermal insulation fitted.
It is manufactured from Austenit Steel and has flame/smoke detectors fitted in the vicinity.

What type of engine is shown here?

A two stroke diesel with piston underside scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with loop scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with spiral scavenging.
A two stroke diesel with uniflow scavenging.

The revolutions on the turbocharger have increased during the night with an unmanned engine. This could be caused by _____ .

the wind and current holding the vessel back.
the viscosity of the fuel being high.
poor combustion due to malfunction of fuel valves.
the wind and current being favourable.

What is the largest source of energy loss in a diesel engine?

Heat loss through the exhaust gas.
Radiated heat loss from the engine.
Mechanical loss in bearings and piston.
Heat loss through the cooling water.

Assists in mixing the charge air with the atomised fuel.
Acts as a catalyst to the combining of oxygen and the hydrocarbons.
Assists in the cooling process during combustion.

Where is the fuel injector leak-off connection fed?

Into the 'in use' daily service tank.
Into the fuel oil separator suction.
Into the fuel bunker tanks.
Into the oily bilge collection tank.
