BS ISO 8217:2017 specifies the requirements for fuels for use in marine diesel engines and boilers, prior
to conventional onboard treatment (settling, centrifuging, filtration) before use. The specifications for
fuels in this document can also be applied to fuels used in stationary diesel engines of the same or
similar type as those used for marine purposes.This document specifies seven categories of distillate fuels, one of which is for diesel engines used for
emergency purposes. It also specifies six categories of residual fuels.For the purposes of this document, the term "fuels" is currently used to include the following:hydrocarbons from petroleum crude oil, oil sands and shale;hydrocarbons from synthetic or renewable sources, similar in composition to petroleum
distillate fuels;blends of the above with a fatty acid methyl ester(s) (FAME) component where permitted.NOTE 1 Appropriate guidance about fuel treatment systems for diesel engines is published by the International Council on Combustion Engines (CIMAC)[5].NOTE 2 Requirements for gas turbine fuels used in marine applications are specified in ISO 4261[6].NOTE 3 For the purposes of this document, the terms "mass %" and "volume %" are used to represent the
mass and volume fractions respectively.Cross References:ISO 2719ISO 3015ISO 3016ISO 3104ISO 3675ISO 3733ISO 4259ISO 4264ISO 6245ISO 8754ISO 10307-1ISO 10307-2ISO 10370ISO 10478ISO 12156-1ISO 12185ISO 12205ISO 12937ISO 13739ISO 14596ISO 14597ASTM D664ASTM D4294ASTM D6751ASTM D7963EN 14214IP 309IP 470IP 500IP 501IP 570IP 579IP 612ISO 8216-1ISO 4261ISO/TR 29662CEN/TR 15138CEN/TR 15160ISO/TR 18455All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
