What affect will the Gulf of Mexico oil spill have on my engines and drives?
We all know the catastrophic impact the oil spill will have on our environment. Besides the damage to our beaches and wildlife, the oil spill can also lead to damage that can be detrimental to all marine engines. As the oil spill spreads along the Gulf Coast Region and possibly even further, owners and operators of marine engines must take extra precautions to protect their vessels.
Many boaters are concerned about the impact of the oil on their engines while sitting at the dock or during operation in waters where oil may be present. Because a disaster of this magnitude is unprecedented, there is a major uncertainty regarding the long term effect of mooring or operation of a boat in contaminated water. Most manufacturers, including Volvo Penta, have not performed formal testing of engines under these conditions and all boat owners need to exercise extra precautions to protect their boat investment.
Volvo Penta does not recommend the operation of any Volvo Penta marine gasoline, diesel or transmission products in water contaminated by spilled crude oil.
The ingestion of even small amounts of oil into the cooling system of the engine may cause damage to the engine and/or many of its subsystems. Sterndrive components or other running gear may also be damaged by submersion in oil contaminated water. DAMAGE CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO OIL CONTAMINATION IS NOT COVERED BY THE VOLVO PENTA LIMITED WARRANTY AND EXPENSIVE REPAIR BILLS MAY RESULT.
If your boat has been operated in or exposed to oil contaminated water, please visit our office or contact us for service recommendations.
