BIOHEAT FUEL
Cleaner-Burning Heating Oil for Modern Home Comfort
BioHeat fuel combines dependable home heating oil with renewable biodiesel. It works with standard #2 oil-heating equipment while helping support cleaner operation and long-term system care.
BIODIESEL INFORMATION
Heating Oil Performance with Renewable Benefits
BioHeat fuel is designed to provide the same reliable warmth customers expect from heating oil while introducing renewable biodiesel into the fuel blend.
Compatible with #2 Oil Furnaces
BioHeat fuel is compatible with standard #2 oil furnaces and generally does not require major equipment changes.
Cleaner System Operation
Biodiesel’s natural solvent qualities can help loosen old deposits and keep the fuel system cleaner over time.
Potential Long-Term Savings
Cleaner components and reduced buildup may help limit wear, service needs, and premature equipment replacement.
HOW TO USE BIODIESEL FOR OIL HEAT
Use It Just Like Traditional Heating Oil
Biodiesel in your home heating oil works the same way as conventional heating oil. The blended fuel is delivered directly to your tank and used by your existing oil-heating system.
Because BioHeat blends are compatible with #2 oil furnaces, customers can benefit from renewable biodiesel without changing how they heat their homes.
- Delivered directly into your existing heating-oil tank
- Works with standard #2 oil-heating equipment
- Provides dependable heat throughout the winter
- May help reduce wear on fuel-system components
FILTER PLUGGING
Why Filters May Need Extra Attention at First
Biodiesel has solvent properties that can loosen old sludge and debris from inside the tank and fuel-system housing. As those deposits break down, particulate can move through the fuel and cause filters to plug more quickly.
This cleaning period may require up to three filter changes. Once the older pollutants have been removed, normal filter-service intervals should generally return as continued biodiesel use helps keep the system cleaner.
- Biodiesel can loosen old sludge and deposits
- Released particulate may temporarily plug filters
- The initial cleaning period may require up to three filter changes
- Service intervals should normalize after old deposits are removed
ANNUAL SYSTEM CARE
Maintenance Matters with Every Type of Heating Oil
No matter which heating oil blend you use, annual heating-system service is strongly recommended. Routine maintenance helps keep your equipment operating efficiently and can identify small problems before they become costly repairs.
- Schedule a professional tune-up once each year
- Inspect and replace fuel filters as needed
- Check the tank and fuel lines for leaks or corrosion
- Keep the burner and combustion components clean
- Address unusual odors, noises, or performance changes promptly
