1.3 General requirements FAME/RME
• The fuel must meet the requirements of standard EN 14214 for FAME.
• The fuel must be stored and used according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. It should typically be used within 6 months of
manufacture. Fuel that is allowed to age loses its oxidation stability
and produces aggressive constituents. These may cause oxidation
damage to components in the oil system. The fuel should be stored in
a cool and dark area.
• The RME tank must be made of metal or dark coloured plastics
approved for the fuel.
• Burners fuelled by FAME (RME) are – and must be – equipped with
parts designed for this fuel. This applies to oil-related parts such as
the pump, solenoid valve, oil lter and hoses.
• Oil hoses must be of high-quality uoride rubber or PTFE intended for
FAME/RME, and the hoses must be tted with re-retardant sleeves in
order to satisfy requirements according to EN-ISO 6806.
• The installation should be performed as a single-pipe system. Copper
should be avoided the fuel system since the fuel and copper have an
oxidising effect on each other.
• Annual cleaning and checking for the presence of water in the tank
should be done to avoid corrosion and microorganisms.
