HFO Fuel from Long Beach California
Has anyone had trouble with their fuel components from the HFO from Long Beach? Also has anyone noticed waste oil the the MDO?

Re: HFO Fuel from Long Beach California
There was some discussion about bad fuel here, some time ago, but I cant find the thread right this minute.
One of my inputs into the discussion was that when I was on ship in Vancouver, we had allot of problems with fuel pumps on Wartsila 12V46, several months after loading up bunkers (380) from the port of LA. We had numerous pump o ring failure and such, but the fuel test all came back ok or within limits. But obviously there was a problem there. This happened back in late spring 2004, I have not heard anything else about fuel from there or since then.
Hope that helps.
