Title: Info. on winter Biodiesel BS EN 14214
Post by: Julian on October 07, 2012, 12:43:03 PM: Been doing a little research into winter running and came across this on wikipedia don't know if it's common knowledge, but I'd not seen it before ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biodiesel_in_the_United_Kingdom

The national annex of BS EN 14214 specifies a maximum CFPP for B100 biodiesel of -15°C in the winter (16 November - 15 March inclusive) and -5°C for the rest of the year.

Have you a link for that Arash. That may well make some interesting reading. From what has been said and posted previously most filters come in at between 8 and 10 micron.

Post by: nigelb on October 07, 2012, 08:24:29 PM: It makes me wonder where the 8-10micron rated filter comes from. Never heard of a winter filter where larger micron particles are allowed through. 45 micron is huge...about the size of a small pea ;D
