What about my oil tank--is it compatible with Bioheat® fuel?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
All known oil tanks and systems are compatible with Bioheat® fuel at blends of 20% or less. For higher biodiesel blends, up to and including 100% biodiesel, compatibility will depend on the materials (metals, plastics, and rubber parts) in your tanks, pumps and fuel lines. For blends higher than 20% biodiesel only steel, mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, fluorinated polyethylene fluorinated polypropylene and fiberglass vessels are recommended.

What about fuel and oil?

Do oil burner manufacturers recommend the use of Bioheat® fuel with their equipment?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
this time the emergence of Bioheat® fuel is much too new for burner manufacturers to comment on. However, in work accomplished throughout the northeast, organizations like Carlin, Beckett and Power Flame (notable burner manufactures) all are reviewing Bioheat® fuel. Bioheat® fuel appears to have little or no negative impact on a burner’s performance while providing emissions, sulfur, lubricity, global warming and health benefits.

Once blended will the Bioheat® fuel stay blended with my home heating oil?

Biodiesel.org - Home Heating Oil
Yes. The biodiesel in Bioheat® fuel goes completely into solution with heating oil and once it is blended it does not come out of solution and will not separate. Bioheat® fuel contains biodiesel. Biodiesel provides a cleaning effect and does have a tendency to dissolve or loosen some sediment that can be deposited in tanks and fuel systems from years of conventional diesel fuel or home heating oil use. This cleaning effect is dependent upon the blend concentration of biodiesel.

What is the oil to fuel ratio I must use for my boat?

BONZÍ SPORTS Frequently Asked Questions - Have a Zeno...
For our Zenoah-powered boats, we recommend a 20:1 or 25:1 mixture of a quality 2 cycle synthetic oil. Zenoah recommends 90 or higher octane unleaded fuel (although we have quite a few customers who have had success with 87-89 octane). We recommend a mixture of 25:1 (5 oz of oil to 1 gal of gas) or 20:1 (6 oz of oil). Either will work for you, but you should pick one mixture and not change. The oil needs to be a good 2 stroke synthetic. We recommend AMSOIL.

We recommend using the highest octane alcohol-free unleaded auto-fuel that is available. This is generally 98 RON (Research Octane Number) in Europe and 93 PON (Pump Octane Number) in North America (except California which is 92).

Oil heat has been consistently less expensive than natural gas and this has been the case for 10 of the past 12 years. Natural gas has been up to 30% more expensive.
