Bio-diesel compatibility - up to a 20% blend ratio

Fill-Rite fuel transfer pumps and meters work with a maximum blend ratio of 20% Bio-diesel oil that is mixed with 80% petroleum-based diesel fuel. The recognized designation for this bio-diesel fuel is ASTM PS 121, or DIN 51606. Both fuels are known as B20. Consult with your customer's fuel supplier to make certain that their fuel meets these specifications. CAUTION: pumping bio-diesel ratios above 20% or E85 fuel will result in shortened pump and meter life and premature failure of seals for Fill-Rite products, thus voiding the product warrantly.

Always use a recommended conversion kit before pumping these fuels.

* 700KTG9170- E85 & B100 conversion kit for the FR700 pump
* 300KTG9180- E85& B100 conversion kits for the FR300 and FR310 pumps
* 1200KTG9181- E85 & B100 conversion kit for FR610, FR1210C, FR4210C, FR4210D, FR4410, SD602, SD1202

Meters-Series 800 and 900 meters on pumps like FR701,FR310, FR1211, FR4211, etc. will corrode when exposed to E85. You must use Fill-Rite nickel-plated meters for use with E85. Fill-Rite nickel-plated meters have compatible o-rings and seals.
Conversion kits available for 100% concentrated bio-diesel (B100) and E85 fuel

Three new kits are available to convert Fill-Rite pumps to be compatible with bio-diesel blend ratios from above 20% (B20) all the way up to the 100% concentrate (B100) and also for E85 fuel. These conversion kits are listed below.

Filters-Remember there will be some reduction in flow rate when pumping bio-diesel due to the higher viscosity. To ensure maximum flow rate, use 30 micron filters whenever possible, especially in cooler weather when diesel fuel viscosity will be the highest.
