Specification of diesel oil (MDO)
Marine diesel oil
Marine diesel oil, marine diesel fuel.
Marine diesel oil (MDO) is supplied as heavy distillate (designation ISO-F-
DMB) exclusively for marine applications. MDO is manufactured from crude
oil and must be free of organic acids and non-mineral oil products.
Specification
The suitability of a fuel depends on the engine design and the available
cleaning options as well as compliance with the properties in the following
table that refer to the as-delivered condition of the fuel.
The properties are essentially defined using the ISO 8217 standard in the
current version as the basis. The properties have been specified using the
stated test procedures.
