Marine Diesel Was Not Designed for Use in Motor Vehicles and May Cause Harm to Consumers

The change in ANP Resolution, Resolution No. 903/2022, which establishes the specifications for fuels for marine use and their marketing restrictions, was accepted today (3/2) by the ANP Board and will be included in the Agency’s Regulatory Agenda. As part of the planned change, marine diesel oil will need to be colored.

The idea aims to prevent the illegal sale of marine diesel oil, clearly distinguishing it from on-road S10 diesel oil. The ANP has heard that some companies are marketing marine fuel as if it were on-road due to the price difference, giving them an unfair advantage.

Specifications of Marine Diesel Oil

Marine diesel, which can contain up to 0.5% sulfur (5,000 mg/kg of sulfur), was not designed for use in motor vehicles and can cause engine problems and damage to the after-treatment system. As a result, it may lead to greater emissions of gases caused by the combustion of the fuel.
