Fuel oil additives
Fuel oil additives are supplements that can be used,
providing they have the following properties:
They improve the stability of the fuel during storage
■
They improve the thermal stability of the fuel
■
■
They reduce odour development during filling
Combustion improvers
Combustion improvers are additives for optimising fuel
oil combustion.
Viessmann pressure-jet oil burners do not require
combustion improvers, as these burners operate with
clean and efficient combustion.
Biofuels
Biofuels are made from vegetable oils, e.g. sunflower
or rapeseed oil.
!
Please note
Biofuels can cause damage to Viessmann pres-
sure-jet oil burners.
With boilers built in or after 2012, up to 10 %
added bio-components (FAME) are generally
allowed. Fuel oil must comply with
DIN 51603-6-EL A Bio 10.
If you have any questions, ask your heating contractor.
