I would contact the OEM and they can send you the manual electronic.

These CAT engines can tolerate little to no water at all with such tight tolerances in order to get the injection pressures to meet current emmision reguilations. I have had that wonderful experience before.

Road Diesel in BC is low sulphur adn weighs in a B5 or a mere 5% bio-diesel.

You donot say what kind of propulsion system you have. Did you perform any work to the propulsion shafting and propellers? Change props/Pitch, tailshaft bearings etc...If the bearings are tight or to poor fit, and or poor manufacturer they may swell or result in higher exhaust gas temps. Also if you...

Martin,

You may have dodged a bullet with the block, but I doubt you will be successful with the crank.

Crankshaft may be twisted, and hence damaged beyond repair.

Been there done that too.....

Hi all, I am still trying to improve my knowledge from my learned collegues here. Like to hear from ya? Primarily I am wondering about: - the bunkering process, how does that work, from a truck delivery to the ship, or from a tank ashore? What kind of procedure is required? Safety? How long? -the ap...

BC Ferries does require a Provincial TQ - as I stated above.

Just for information, the last time that BCF recruited for a "Marine Electrician" they asked for several things; - a minimum 5 years experience in a marine environment covering Safety, maintenance, troubleshooting, repairs of marine automation systems including power-generation, distrubuti...

Te eternal debate is an interesting topic..... Lets face it, there are two fundamental principles which guarantee safe passage through a power-operated watertight door, irrespective of the operating mechanism and operational mode.......1) Always open the door fully before passing through, and 2) Nev...

It was of interest to hear the Captain report that the ("VDR was not working and has not been working for some time......)". It is interesting that none of the regulatory bodies associated with this incident have come forward and "confirmed" his comment....and, also...shared his ...

I have always inspected the Thrust Bearing, to get as much information as possible with one bearing.......Not always a pretty site, but usually an indication of a few things in the history of the machine.....

I had a problem once where there was an additional component that was like a "top hat" that went internal in the exhaust bellows to control the tubulence of the gas flow. It was only attached at the hot end, and smoothed the flow of exhaust gas out... It was left out by the previous crew, ...

The hole in the hull where the piece of the uncharted rock has moved to, appears to be into the machinery compartment.

Do we know if any of the souls that still remain missing are engineering personnel?

Sandbar?....There is a piece of "rock" the size of a truck embedded in the hull? Apparently no 'Mayday" call until the evacuation was well underway...........

Amazing that there were not more people missing or dead.

News clip may be of some interest (surely to generate soooome discussion) of a submarine that needed to be depermed in order to "avoid detection".
