In addition to casualties which may involve parts of the fuel oil system within the engine, other casualties may occur which involve the system out-side of the engine. Examples of some of the possi-ble casualties, along with the action to be taken follow:

WATER IN DIESEL FUEL OIL SERVICE (DAY) TANK

1. Shift fuel oil suction.

2. Notify the engineer officer and the bridge of the casualty.

3. Drain the water from all filters, strainers, and lines.

4. Open all test cocks on the engine, and turn the engine over until assured that the system is free of water.

5. Close the test cock. Start the engine. Check its operation. If operation is normal, notify the engineer officer and the bridge that the engine is ready for normal operation.

6. Strip or drain the contaminated service tank and refill with clean fuel using the fuel oil purifier.

INOPERATIVE DIESEL FUEL OIL TRANSFER PUMP

1. Line up the diesel purifier to supply the tank as quickly as possible.

2. Notify the engineer officer of the casualty.

3. In an emergency, line up and use the hand-operated pump in order to continue operation.

4. At the earliest possible time, inspect and repair the fuel oil transfer pump.

5. Report the results of the investigation and repairs to the engineer officer.
