Which outcome accelerates degradation when high sulfur fuel is combusted in ship's diesel engine?

💡 Explanation

When fuel with high sulfur content is combusted, sulfur dioxide (SO2) forms, which reacts with water vapor to create sulfuric acid (H2SO4), leading to increased corrosive acid formation. Therefore corrosive attack on cylinder liners and piston rings is accelerated, rather than lubrication issues, overheating, or emission changes requiring alternative causes.
