Biodiesel is known to have a higher viscosity compared to traditional fuels. Using it in an AGA or boiler that is not specifically designed for biodiesel may lead to poor fuel flow and improper atomization, resulting in incomplete combustion and reduced heating efficiency. Additionally, biodiesel has a lower flashpoint and increased lubricity compared to traditional heating oil. This could potentially impact the safety mechanisms and temperature controls in your appliances, increasing the risk of malfunctions or safety hazards.
It's important to refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for your specific AGA and boiler. Typically, these appliances are designed to operate on specific fuel types, and using alternative fuels like biodiesel without proper modifications or approval could void your warranty and potentially cause damage to the appliances.
If you are interested in exploring alternative fuel options for your AGA or boiler, it's advisable to consult with reputable heating engineers or manufacturers that can provide expert advice on suitable fuel options and any necessary modifications or considerations for safe and efficient operation.
