Winter operation with FAME
biodiesel
DIN EN 14214 demands the following
filterability (low-temperature
characteristics) temperature limits for
FAME:
15 Apr to 30 Sep: 0 °C
01 Oct to 15 Nov: -10 °C
16 Nov to 28 Feb: -20 °C
01 Mar to 14 Apr: -10 °C
A fuel preheating system is required if
no FAME biodiesel fuel with adequate
low-temperature characteristics is avail-
able or if lower outside temperatures
prevail in the region of use.
Note:
Adding flow improvers to the diesel fuel
or mixing the diesel fuel with kerosene
does not improve the low-temperature
characteristics of FAME.
