WARNING
BioFuel
This is a warning to all out there that have oil-fired central heating boilers and
are considering using BioFuel. Unless you have spoken to the manufacturer of your boiler and they have told you
that you can use Biofuel, DON'T DO IT. We have had numerous clients come to us recently with problems, after being told by
one company in particular, that they can use Biofuel in their Roca boilers. What then happens is that within a day or so,
the boiler cokes up and eventually stops running. This is because the burner is not equipped to deal with Biofuel. After this
happens, the only way to get the boiler running properly again, is to dispose of the Biofuel (which is difficult and costly)
and to refill you deposit tank with red diesel (which is what is used over here as central heating oil). Only then can the
boiler be serviced and repaired.
I have spoken to Roca in particular regarding this subject, and they have advised me of
the following:-
Roca are currently in the developmental stages of producing an alternative burner that can be fitted to
their boilers, in order to enable them to run on Biofuel. However, at present you SHOULD NOT burn Biofuel in your boiler as
it could cause lasting damage, and will not run properly.
