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 filter and hoses.
Oil hoses must be of high-quality fluoride rubber or PTFE intended for
•
FAME/RME, and the hoses must be fitted with fire-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.
