I use one for casting alumium and have burned
a 20-30 gallons of Bio-diesel through it. If it isn't really
clean then the flame eye gets sooted over in less then 5 min and you have
to shut down and clean it, but if the fuel is good it will run a long
time. Also I've been selling BD to a Diving company who uses it in their
hot water heaters. They have used about 200-300 gallons in one of
their machines and no problems.

Subject: [Biofuel] bd in furnace and
engines
Hi All,
What is the word on using straight bd in a
Beckett oil burner? This is a new unit only having burned a few gallons of
petro diesel to test it so it is basically a "virgin'. BTW this is a backup
unit on my Tarm wood fired boiler.
Also has anyone had any issues with the solvent
action in a petro diesel engine cleaning the gunk off the inside of the
motor and having it plug up vital item ie: injectors etc.? Once the bd gets
past your fuel filter it any degunked stuff is free to pass through the
motor unfilterd
Thanks in advance
Andrew Leven
