D efinition: B iodiesel is a clean burning fuel m ade from vegetable
oil or anim al fat that has been processed to m eet the requirem ents
of A S TM D 6751 standard. O nly biodiesel that m eets the A S TM
D 6751 standard are to be used w ith Fill-R ite S eries B D 310 pum ps.
U nprocessed or recycled vegetable oil are not biodiesel and are
not to be used w ith the Fill-R ite S eries B D 310 pum ps.
B iodiesel can be used as a pure fuel, but is often blended w ith
petroleum diesel fuel. W hen blended, the resulting fuel is know n
by the percentage of biodiesel in the blend; ie. a 20% biodiesel
blend w ith 80% petroleum diesel is know as B 20. P ure biodiesel is
B 100, also know as “N eat” biodiesel. B lends w ith 20% biodiesel or
less (B 1-B 20) are generally treated like petroleum diesel fuel.
The Fill-R ite S eries B D 310 Transfer P um ps are designed to
handle biodiesel blends of B 21–B 100 (21% -100% biodiesel).
U sers w ho w ish to dispense blends w ith low er concentrations of
biodiesel (B 1-B 20) should use the Fill-R ite S eries FR 310 fuel
pum ps.
Tem perature Lim itations: B 100 (100% biodiesel) that m eets
A S TM D 6751 has a “gel” point of 38°F (3.3°C ). If B 100 gets colder
than 40°F (4.4°C ), the Fill-R ite Series B D 310 Transfer P um ps m ay
not operate properly du e to the thickness of the fluid. In som e
situations, tank m anufactures m ay be able to supply tank and
pipeline heaters that are safe to use and can keep the tem perature
of the B 100 above 40°F .
C leaning P roperties of B iodiesel: B iodiesel has solvent properties
that give it scrubbing and cleaning properties that tend to loosen
rust, varnish, and dirt in storage tanks, piping, and equipm ent. The
resulting debris can clog filters and screens, or dam age
equipm ent. It is im portant to understand this and take precautions
to prevent problem s w hen first using biodiesel.
S helf Life of B iodiesel: It is recom m ended that biodiesel be used
w ithin 6 m onths for best perform ance. M icrobial grow th m ay occur
if biodiesel is stored for longer periods.
