BS 2869:2017 pdf download – Fuel oils for agricultural , domestic and industrial engines and boilers Specification 4.3Sampling middle distillate fuels from retail site pumps and commercial site fuel dispensers All sampling of middle distillate fuels from retail site pumps and commercial site fuel dispensers shallbe carried out in accordance with the relevant procedures of BS EN 14275. NOTE Attention is drawn to The Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure ReceptaclesRegulations 2009 (CDG2009)[3] and the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of DangerousGoods by Road (ADR) 2009[4], with reference to sampling cans. 4.4Storage and labelling Samples shall be kept in a cool place, away from sources of direct heat, although it is not necessary tokeep them refrigerated. NOTE1 Ifleft in direct sunlight, there is a danger that the cans could become pressurized through expansion oftheir contents. Full and legible information relating to the source of the sample shall be attached to the can in such amanner that it cannot easily become subsequently detached. NOTE 2 lf required, the sample can be sealed and labeled to maintain the legal integrity.Attention is also drawnto Chemicals (Hazard Information and Packaging for Supply) Regulations 2009 [5] with reference to the hazardlabelling of sarmples. 5 Composition5.1 General Fuels shall be predominantly hydrocarbon oils derived from petroleum refining except in the caseof middle distillate fuels (see 6.1), where up to a maximum of 7.0% (V/V) of fatty acid methyl ester(FAME) conforming to BS EN 14214 is specified, and in the residual grades, where a finished gas oil isused in the supply chain to adjust viscosity values. Hydrocarbons such as Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), Gas To Liquid (GTL) or Biomass To Liquid(BTL)derived hydrocarbons shall also be allowed in any proportions, as these are paraffinic dieselcomponents, provided that the final blend complies with the requirements of this British Standard.The co-processing of renewable feedstock at refineries shall also be permitted, provided that the finalfuel meets the requirements of this British Standard. NOTE1 lt is strongly recommended to add oxidation stability-enhancing additives in any FAME component, at theproduction stage and before storage, to provide an action similar to that obtained with 1 000 mg/kg of 2,6-ditert-buty)l-4-methylphenol (butylated hydroxy toluene,”BHT”).Some installations currently utilized for the storage,handling and combustion of fuels conforming to this British Standard are not resistant to FAME at the maximumconcentrations specified. Users are advised to satisfy themselves that materials in use are compatible with blends...
