Once blended will the Bioheat® fuel stay blended with my 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. Q. I understand that Bioheat® fuel or Bioheat® fuel Blends may act like a cleaning agent and start to dissolve and raise the sediment already in my tank. Won’t this prematurely plug my oil burner filter, strainer and nozzle? 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. In numerous field tests with on-road diesel fuel using B20, the incidence of initial filter clogging was about 2%. In these cases, after the system was cleaned of the years of deposits left by petroleum diesel fuel the incidence of filter clogging went back to normal or was reduced. There ha
