Maritime New Zealand issued a Safety Bulletin (https://www.maritimenz.govt.nz/publications/safety_bulletins/2005_issue5.asp) advising the marine community that the sulphur content of diesel fuel produced in New Zealand is progressively being reduced. By January 2006, all diesel fuel available in New Zealand will have a maximum sulphur content of 50 ppm. Use of this low-sulphur diesel fuel has many benefits, but may result in leaks around seals in older fuel injection equipment. Mariners should be alert to this potential problem and replace seals as necessary. (11/9/05).
