On the steam ships we would burn everything including paint. New regulations require low sulfur fuel to be used within 100 miles of coast. Outside that i think its below 3% sulfur now, stricter every year.
The fun part was fuel change over. 150C HFO to 5C ulsmdo. When the law first changed lots of ships lost all power and propulsion. And back then the change over was like 3 miles from shore.
Purifiers always running for water and cat fines. 10 micron strainers that were cleanable. To much volume for throw away filters.
There are lots of grades of crude, don't know much about it other then how to pump it and the garbage it leaves behind if the tanks aren't "washed " when discharging.
