Marine diesel engines can fail due to a variety of reasons, including fuel contamination, oil leaks, overheating, and worn-out components. Regular maintenance and inspection can help prevent these issues from occurring. It’s also important to ensure that the engine is operated within its recommended parameters and that the fuel and oil used are of high quality.
The frequency of servicing will depend on the engine’s usage and manufacturer’s recommendations. A typical service involves changing the oil and filters, checking and adjusting the engine’s components, inspecting the cooling system and electrical connections, and testing the engine’s performance.
