that makes sense thanks

Proberly not, as the more heavy fuel also carry acids and sulfur there
simply are more dirt in the heavy fuels, something that is no problem
in a huge ships engine undertaking maintaince on regular times ,where
the pistons are houled and the rings cleaned every 2 month and, you
easily end up with an engine blocked by unburned remains, valves that
will not close well, all in all , what you think you save can add extra
costs while the engine suffer. ---- beside when the engine are not made
for the fuel the smoke can turn out to be a major problem.
Also even the old slow running engines are made for a particular fuel,
the jets in the carburator aswell as the spray holes in the diesel
engine, are made so that a wrong fuel will only caurse trouble , the
engine will turn out being very "dirty" and esp. more modern engines
will soon fail or the engine will soon be vorn out.
