6.1.3
Liquid bio fuels
The engine can be operated on liquid bio fuels according to the specifications in tables "6-4
Straight liquid bio fuel specification" or "6-5 Biodiesel specification based on EN 14214:2012
standard". Liquid bio fuels have typically lower heating value than fossil fuels, the capacity of
the fuel injection system must be checked for each installation.
If a liquid bio fuel is to be used as pilot fuel, only pilot fuel according to table "Biodiesel
specification based on EN 14214:2012 standard" is allowed.
Table "Straight liquid bio fuel specification" is valid for straight liquid bio fuels, like palm oil,
coconut oil, copra oil, rape seed oil, jathropha oil etc. but is not valid for other bio fuel qualities
like animal fats.
Renewable biodiesel can be mixed with fossil distillate fuel. Fossil fuel being used as a blending
component has to fulfill the requirement described earlier in this chapter.

Synthetic polymers
Remarks:
If injection viscosity of max. 24 cSt cannot be achieved with an unheated fuel, fuel oil system has to be equipped with a
heater.
1)
Ignition properties have to be equal to or better than requirements for fossil fuels, i.e. CN min. 35 for MDF and CCAI max.
870 for HFO.
2)
Cloud point and cold filter plugging point have to be at least 10°C below the fuel injection temperature.
3)
Biofuels originating from food industry can contain synthetic polymers, like e.g. styrene, propene and ethylene used in
packing material. Such compounds can cause filter clogging and shall thus not be present in biofuels.
