Specification of bio fuel
Biofuel
Biodiesel, FAME, vegetable oil, rapeseed oil, palm oil, frying fat.
Biofuel is derived from oil plants or old cooking oil.
Provision
Transesterified and non-transesterified vegetable oils can be used.
Transesterified biofuels (biodiesel, FAME) must comply with the standard EN
14214.
Non-transesterified biofuels must comply with the specifications listed in
table Specification of non-transesterified bio fuel.
These specifications are based on experience to date. As this experience is
limited, these must be regarded as recommended specifications that can be
adapted if necessary. If future experience shows that these specifications are
too strict, or not strict enough, they can be modified accordingly to ensure
safe and reliable operation.
When operating with bio-fuels, lubricating oil that would also be suitable for
operation with diesel oil.
