A low exhaust gas temperature in one unit of a marine diesel engine compared to others can be attributed to several factors, including incomplete combustion due to fuel quality issues, improper air-fuel mixture, or malfunctions in the fuel injection system. Additionally, variations in cylinder wear, differences in turbocharger performance, or cooling system inefficiencies can also contribute to the disparity in exhaust temperatures. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to diagnose and rectify such issues to ensure optimal engine performance.
Yes, diesel fuel coming out of an exhaust is a chemical change. The combustion process that occurs in the engine converts the diesel fuel into different compounds such as carbon dioxide, water, and other byproducts, which are emitted through the exhaust.
No. They have other exhaust regulation devices, such as the EGR (exhaust gas regulator), DPF (diesel particulate filter), and DEF (diesel exhaust fluid).
You wreck your car. Adblue is used in the exhaust not the engine. Don't do it.
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.
Because one has a petrol engine and the other has a diesel engine. Petrol/gasoline does not ignite the same way as diesel. It also does not have the lubrication qualities that diesel has. Gas in a diesel engine will damage the fuel system if the diesel very quickly.

The designation "350MD" on the 350 motor typically refers to the model or type of the engine, with "350" indicating the engine displacement of 350 cubic inches. The "MD" often stands for "Marine Diesel," indicating that this particular engine is designed for marine applications. This designation helps differentiate it from other engine types or configurations within the same displacement category.
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.

Diesel particulate filters (DPFs) are devices that are installed in an engine's exhaust system in order to filter particulate matter that exists in diesel fuel exhaust gas. DPFs can be used in non-road machines and automobiles. Efficiency of filters vary according to which filter medias are used and other factors such as type of regeneration. DPFs require "regeneration" which is the process of "burning off" the accumulated particulate matter (or PM) that has collected in the filter.
An emissions flush on a diesel engine is a maintenance process designed to clean the exhaust system, particularly the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and related components. This procedure typically involves using specialized chemicals or solvents to remove soot, ash, and other deposits that accumulate over time, which can hinder engine performance and increase emissions. Regular emissions flushing can help maintain compliance with environmental regulations, improve fuel efficiency, and extend the lifespan of the engine.
Diesel calls steam engines "Steamies."
