Abstract

The existence of diesel engine commonly used as a main propulsion engine on fishing vessel, Diesel engine works continuously during fishing operation thus requisite extra intention to ensure the Diesel engine work properly. Since the diesel engine work hardly several components could be failed to work or even worst, for example fuel system. To prevent operational failure of Diesel engine caused by failure of fuel system hence proper maintenance is needed specially on components that exist in fuel system. On the fuel system consists of many components, but only on critical components that need to be treated. To determine the critical component it is necessary to analyze based on the possible failures of each component. This paper aims to apply the FMEA approach to find out how to assess the possible risks in the diesel engine fuel system used as the main propulsion of fishing vessel. The study was performed critical components of the fuel system in the event of failure will result in the failure of the diesel engine operation as follow Fuel storage tanks, transfer pumps, daily fuel tanks, separators, hand pumps, double stage filters, high pressure fuel pumps, high pressure fuel line and injector.
