Scope

This British Standard gives guidance on the low temperature properties and cold weather use of diesel fuel conforming to BS EN 590 and gas oils conforming to class A2 and class D of BS 2869:2010+A1.

This British Standard does not address the use of 100% FAME as an automotive fuel or a heating fuel, such as that specified in BS EN 14214.

Clause 3 and Clause 4 give details of the fuel classes and their low temperature properties.

Clause 5 to Clause 8 give recommendations for fuel quality and treatment, the cold weather use of bulk handling and storage systems, cold weather operation of diesel engined vehicles and mobile automotive plant and remedial measures for fuel starvation in oil fired burner systems.

Purpose

The proposed revision of the standard will address significant changes to fuel specifications since the original document was published, as well as updating best practice for the handling and storage of fuels based on several years of experience with these new specification fuels
