Due to the limited scope of the diagnostic equipment on the ship, the technical condition of the engine is based on the measurement of pressure and temperature at the available measuring points. Usually it is the exhaust temperature at the outlet of individual cylinders, supercharging pressure, oil temperature and cooling water temperature. Sometimes the bearing temperature and turbocharger speed are also measured. Normally, if the engine is adapted to this, the maximum combustion pressure is measured periodically although distorted through the channels with the indicator valves. The paper presents examples of the exploitation of marine diesel engines, where there is a discrepancy between the actual technical state of the engine and the technical state of the engine based on the traditional diagnostic method based on a limited set of available parameters. These discrepancies resulted, inter alia, from the regular fuel injection timing and fuel dose adjustment, so that the measured parameters were adequate to the actual load of the engine. This adjustment is justified, but leads to masking engine components wear symptoms. In this situation, it can only be stated that the state of the fuel injection equipment is suitable for the current technical state of the some engine components and does not provide a sufficient basis for the extension of the repair interval.
