Information and general warnings
2.3.1 Information and general instructions
To ensure consistency, the supplier of the fuel must be able to
demonstrate compliance with a recognised Quality Control and
management system to ensure high standards are maintained
within the storage, blending and delivery processes.
The installation of an oil storage tank and its ancillaries must also
be prepared BEFORE liquid biofuel is introduced.
Checks and preparation should include:
• For new installations, make sure that all materials and
seals in the oil storage and supply line to the burner are compati-
ble with biofuels. For all installations, there must be a good quality
bio compatible oil lter at the tank and then a secondary lter of 60
Microns protecting the burner from contamination.
• If an existing oil storage tank is to be used then in addition
to the materials checks as detailed above, it will be essential that
the tank is rst inspected for condition and checked for water or
other contamination. EOGB strongly recommends that the tank is
cleaned and oil lters replaced prior to biofuel delivery. Due to the
hydroscopic nature of biofuel, if this is not completed then it will
eectively clean the tank and absorb water present which in turn
will result in equipment failure that is not covered by the manufac-
turer’s warranty.
• Depending on the capacity of the oil storage tank and
oil usage, fuels may remain static within the tank for some consid-
erable time and so EOGB recommends that the oil distributor is
consulted regarding the use of additional Biocides within the fuel
to prevent microbial growth from occurring within the tank. EOGB
suggests that fuel suppliers and/or service companies are con-
tacted for guidance on fuel ltration. Special attention should be
applied to dual fuel applications where oil may be stored for long
periods of time.
• The burner must be set according to the appliance appli-
cation and commissioned checking that all combustion parame-
ters are as recommended in the appliance technical manual.
• EOGB recommends that the in line and burner oil pump
lters are inspected and if required replaced at least every 4
months during burner use, before the burner start-up following a
long period of discontinue operation and even more frequently
where contamination has occurred. Particular attention is needed
when inspecting and checking for fuel leakages from seals, gas-
kets and hoses.
