Where and what causes fires

About 60% of engine room fires are caused by oil leaking onto hot parts of engines.

Most lubrication, hydraulic and fuel oils have an ignition point above 250°C. If a liquid hits a surface hotter than its auto ignition temperature, the liquid will ignite.

What to look for

All surfaces above 220 o c have to be insulated in order to protect from ignition from flammable liquids

Indicator Valves 260 o c

Flanges 230 o c
