Bio-Diesel Fuels
In Europe and in the United States, as well as some
other countries, non-mineral oil based fuel resources
such as RME (Rapeseed Methyl Ester) and SOME
(Soybean Methyl Ester), collectively known as
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Esters), are being used as
extenders for mineral oil derived diesel fuels.
Doosan approves the use of bio-diesel fuels that do
not exceed a blend of 7% (by volume) of FAME with
93% (by volume) of approved mineral oil derived
diesel fuel. Such bio-diesel fuels are known in the
marketplace as B7 diesel fuels.
These B7 diesel fuels must meet certain
requiremen
ts.
1.
The bio-fuels must meet the minimum
specifications for the country in which they are
used.
In Europe, bio-diesel fuels must comply with
the European Standard EN14214.
In the United States, bio-diesel fuels must
comply with the American Standard ASTM D-
6751.
2.
Bio-fuels should be purchased only from
recognized and authorized diesel fuel suppliers.
Precautions and concerns regarding the use of
bio- fuels:
1.
Free methanol in FAME may result in corrosion
of aluminum and zinc FIE components.
2. Free water in FAME may result in plugging of fuel
filters and increased bacterial growth.
3. High viscosity at low temperatures may result in
fuel delivery problems, injection pump seizures,
and poor injection nozzle spray atomization.
4. FAME may have adverse effects on some
elastomers (seal materials) and may result in fuel
leakage and dilution of the engine lubricating oil.
5. Even bio-diesel fuels that comply with a suitable
standard as delivered, will require additional care
and attention to maintain the quality of the fuel in
the equipment or other fuel tanks. It is important
to maintain a supply of clean, fresh fuel. Regular
flushing of the fuel system, and / or fuel storage
containers, may be necessary.
6. The use of bio-diesel fuels that do not comply
with the standards as agreed to by the diesel
engine manufacturers and the diesel fuel
injection equipment manufacturers, or biodiesel
fuels that have degraded as per the precautions
and concerns above, may affect the warranty
coverage of your engine.
HVO (Hydro treated Vegetable Oil)
HVO is a synthetic diesel which is manufactured
through the hydrogenation of plants and animal fats.
To the user, HVO is reminiscent of diesel in
accordance with EN590, apart from HVO having a
somewhat lower density.
Doosan approves the use of up to 100% HVO for
engines in accordance with the EU standard
EN15940.
GTL (Gas To Liquids)
GTL is a synthetic fuel that is often refined from
natural gas.
To the user, GTL is reminiscent of diesel in
accordance with EN590, apart from GTL having a
somewhat lower density and less odour.
Doosan approves the use of up to 100% GTL for
engines in accordance with the EU standard
EN15940.
