German term

L.O. Puri

German to English Tech/Engineering
Three oil samples are taken for analysis from a cargo ship. The samples are taken from the following places: Probe 1: Vor L.O. Puri
Probe 2: Am Hauptmotor
Probe 3: Hinter B+K Filter.

Nos. 2 and 3 are OK but I am stuck on No. 1. Any suggestions?

light oil purifier

Declined
A pure guess, but if the "main engine" is fuelled by light oil, this may be on target, as the two other expressions look as if they also relate to that area of the ship.
