Stationary-marine diesel fuel

Grades 1-D and 2-D are most commonly used in truck, railroad, and some stationary engines. Grade No. 4-D fuels are used in marine and certain industrial diesel applications. Fuel oil grades and their intended applications are outlined in TABLE 3-13. Federal diesel fuel oil classifications are provided in TABLE 3-14. 

Black, viscous residuum directly from the still at 410 K (390°F) or higher serves as fuel in nearby furnaces or may be cooled and blended to make commercial fuels. Diluted with 5 to 20 percent distillate, the blend is No. 6 fuel oil. With 20 to 50 percent distillate, it becomes No. 4 and No. 5 fuel oils for commercial use, as in schools and apartment houses. Distillate-residual blends also serve as diesel fuel in large stationary and marine engines. However, distillates with inadequate solvent power will precipitate asphaltenes and other high-molecular-... 

Molten carbonate fuel cells can use hydrogen, carbon monoxide, natural gas, propane, landfill gas, marine diesel, and coal gasification products as the fuel. MCFCs producing 10 kW to 2 MW MCFCs have been tested with a variety of fuels and are primarily targeted to electric utility applications. MCFCs for stationary applications have been successfully demonstrated in several locations throughout the world.
