FUEL OPTIONS
Vintage Ranges can operate on the following fuel types... Domestic grade Kerosene, diesel, marine diesel, mazout (French diesel), natural gas/LPG* and Biodiesel. When changing from one type of oil to another, our burner equipment does not require any component change or modification other than a minor adjustment of the burner pump pressure.
For mazout, we fit a "preheater" to the burner to counter the affects of cold and altitude of a French hiver. Biodiesel, I personally championed and pioneered the use of biodiesel, 100% transesterified Rapeseed oil in range cookers. Biodiesel, is as you may know is probably the closest to being "Green" that we can be - it is totally organic, contains very little sulphur and is becoming very available. Goto Google and search for "biodiesel" and see for yourself.
