Yes. The difference is that marine diesels do not (yet) have to run a diesel particulate filter, SCR, and other on-highway emissions controls, and thus can use low sulfur diesel fuel. Highway engines use Ultra Low Sulphur diesel fuel (ULSD) because of emissions requirements. Now, bear in mind that ULSD has less lubricity than low sulfur diesel fuel.

What is the fuel consumption formula for marine diesel engine?
is the fuel consume by the the engine
Why do marine diesel engines burn base oil?
The larger a diesel engine cylider is, the cruder the fuel can be and still work. Also, the larger the cylinder, the more efficient the engine. "Base" or bunker oil is a lot cheaper than refined highway diesel.
What effects will low sulfur diesel fuel have on a marine Detroit diesel engine with turbos?
low sulphur diesel will have no effect whatever. new lubricants have been added to fuel to compensate for the reduction of the sulphur
What is the difference between marine diesel and highway vehicle diesel?
It depends. Legally, marine diesel is considered an off-road diesel. This means two things: it is permitted to have a higher sulfur content (although in practice, high-sulfur diesel is becoming less common, so chemically it may be the same); and secondly, marine diesel must contain red dye. The reason for this is you do not have to pay road-use tax on off road or marine diesel. It is illegal to run off-road diesel in a vehicle on the highway. If you were suspected of doing this, your fuel filter would provide tell-tale evidence because it filters out the dye.
Will your car run on diesel fuel?
only if it has a diesel engine. A gasoline engine will not run properly on diesel fuel.

What type of fuel do ferries run on?

What is the mpg of a 2008 e350 diesel?
The diesel engine that would be in a 2008 Ford E-350 van would be the 6.4L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8. This Powerstroke engine got poor fuel economy with about 16mpg highway and 12mpg city.
Can I used unleaded fuel in a diesel van?
If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel. Unleaded gasoline will destroy a diesel engine. Diesel fuel is also used as a lubricant in a diesel engine. The use of any other fuel except diesel will result in serious damage. If you have put unleaded in your diesel, do not start or drive this vehicle until you drain the tank and change all the fuel filters.If the van has a diesel engine, then you MUST use diesel fuel.

What is the Fuel consumption of a cargo ship?
The amount of fuel burn for a marine vessel is dependent on multiple factors. These include the vessel size, tonnage, propulsion type (fuel oil, diesel, nuclear, etc.), speed, marine conditions, and the engine efficiency itself.
What could happen if you put diesel fuel in a flex fuel engine?
Flex fuel does not mean you can use diesel. It means the engine can run on pure gasoline or on E85 gasoline. If you put diesel in this vehicle it simply will not run. Diesel can only be used in a diesel engine.
