The background
Implementation of biofuel directives means that the use of normal commercial fuel on board represents a danger to life and limb. Given that the EU has placed limits on the values for particle emission, the mineral oil concerns are mixing an ever-increasing amount of biofuel into classic fuels such as diesel and petrol. This can on occasion have dramatic consequences:
Danger of explosion due to a reduction in the flashpoint.
Reduction in maximum engine power
Bio-material portion damages certain plastic lines and seals
Positive: Strong reduction in particle and carbon monoxide (CO) emissions
The Movie
Recently made film showing the problem of flame entering the ventilation inlets and outlets on board. Watch how FLAMEARRESTER works.
