BIODIESEL RETROFIT KIT FOR AF AND AFG OIL BURNERS UP TO B20

Beckett B20KITAF1 Biodiesel Retrofit Kit For A Series Oil Burners Up To B20 The B20KITAF1 will upgrade currently installed Beckett model AF and AFG burners for use with the higher blends of biodiesel in #1 and #2 heating oil. The B20KITAF1 Contains: - Fuel Unit – Suntec A2VA-7116 B – Rated to B20 (20% Biodiesel) by the manufacturer. - Stainless Steel Solenoid Valve – Rated for all Biodiesel applications. - Stainless Steel Fuel Line – Connects pump to valve, eliminating copper connector line. - Stainless Steel and Nickel Plated Fittings – Further eliminates yellow metal exposure to the fuel. Retrofitting installed burners with this kit will help address issues such as contact with yellow metals, pump reliability and cut-off concerns. This kit only addresses the burner, other fuel supply components may be affected and need to be addressed. Recently, fuel suppliers have been promoting use of biodiesel blends up to 20% (B20) and ASTM has added a new fuel grade to D396 for biodiesel blends of 6% to 20%. However, this grade has not been accepted nor approved by UL for use in fuel oil burners. Beckett, as well as other manufacturers are experiencing an increase in component issues, particularly in fuel handling components of oil heat systems. This kit addresses the burner’s performance with this new fuel: Materials compatibility, fuel pump performance, and fuel cut-off.
