"I'm writing a novel that involves a fishing trawler explosion and I have a question about using auto parts to repair a diesel engine. I know it's considered unsafe to use auto parts in a marine diesel engine, unless those parts have been marinized. (Creates hot spots in engine, right?) I want to know how hard it would be to realize that a marine diesel engine HAD auto parts in it, if you had not put them in yourself. In my book, a character has used cheaper auto parts to repair his boat's engine. Another character does some work on the engine later, but doesn't realize there are auto parts in it. Is this realistic?"
