Ian BS: Oil or Wood Pellet ? (82* d) RE: BS: Oil or Wood Pellet ? 05 Jan 07

The two waste oil burners I have seen one was a warm air blower in an engineering workshop and the other was a domestic size cast iron boiler.
I have a feeling that the cast iron boiler was a standard oil burning unit with the inlet jet being the only modification.
I will revisit the other unit to check on the manufacturer and availability.
There was a feature in Octobers issue of OIL HEATING NEWS on using Biodiesel for heating oil.
Automotive biodiesel is B5 5% BioD 95% mineral diesel.
Heating oil is likely to be B20 20% BD and 80% kerosene.
B50 and B100 have been trialed but require the oil to be stored at over 20 deg C to prevent crystallisation of veg fats blocking filters.
Even B20 will require a preheat pressure jet burner. Work is in hand to design one that will convert existing boilers.
