| A motor vessel has two centrifuges to pre-treat fuel to the engine(s) which may be configured to operate in series or parallel. A large quantity of water has been determined to be present in the fuel. What actions would you take to minimize the effect of water prior to fuel injection? |
| A) Run both centrifuges in series as purifiers and increase 'shoot' cycles. |
| B) Maintain normal fuel oil throughput through both centrifuges functioning as clarifiers and increase the 'shoot' cycle of the two clarifiers. |
| C) Drain settling tank(s) and service tank more often only, and monitor reduction in water content. |
| D) Run first centrifuge as a purifier in series with second as clarifier and reduce throughput and increase 'shoot' cycles'. |

| it baffles me that you want to cut off removing water by placing one as a clarifier where a purifier would remove both solids as well as water from the fuel. |
