FUEL AND WATER REPORTS
The engineer officer submits the Fuel and Water
Report, NAVSEA 9255/9, daily to the commanding
officer (fig. 2-8). The report indicates the amount of fuel
(fuel oil and diesel oil) and water on hand as of midnight
the previous day. The report also includes the previous
day’s feed and potable water performance, results of
water tests, and the steaming hours on boiler firesides
and watersides.
The Fuel and Water Report is compiled from data
obtained from the Daily Fuel and Lube Oil Account and
the Daily Water Account. The original and one copy of
the report is delivered to the OOD early enough to
submit to the commanding officer with the 1200
reports.
DAILY FUEL AND LUBE OIL ACCOUNT
The Daily Fuel and Lube Oil Account is generally
a single daily record sheet showing the receipt, use,
expenditure, transfer, and changes by inventory or
apparent meter error of the contents of each fuel oil,
diesel oil, and lubricating oil tank throughout the ship.
Forms and procedures are prescribed by the type
commanders. An account form is submitted before and
after receiving or delivering fuel oil. The form is
prepared by the oil king and checked for accuracy by
his leading petty officer and division officer. It is then
submitted to the engineer officer for his approval and
signature. The information in the record is the basis of
reports submitted to higher authority (commanding
officer and force or unit commander) by the engineer
officer.
DAILY WATER ACCOUNT
The Daily Water Account is a daily record of the
feedwater for boilers and potable fresh water in reserve
feed tanks, deaerating feed tanks, boilers, and potable
water tanks throughout the ship. The oil king records the
