New domestic liquid fuel field guide

This useful guide has been designed to be a concise and accessible on-site reference tool to support your installation and servicing work and is now freely available to download from the OFTEC website. 

Key features of the field guide:

The guide has been designed to complement the OFTEC technical manual. It has been formatted as a PDF file and is essentially a digital book. Once downloaded to your smartphone or other device, it can serve as a practical tool for on-site or office use. It covers a wide range of subjects relevant to your work, including:

• Compliance.

• Fuel storage tanks.

• Fill and vent pipes.

• Fuel supply systems.

• Appliances.

• Carbon monoxide detectors.

• Flues and chimneys.

• Combustion and ventilation air.

• Heating and hot water systems.

• HVO conversions.

• Nozzle and pump pressure calculations.

• Procedures.

• Classifying risks.

Benefits:

The field guide’s user-friendly design ensures that you can quickly reference relevant information, making it an ideal companion during your daily tasks. It uses hyperlinks to enable you to navigate quickly to the information you need and contains a comprehensive clickable index. Keyword searching is also possible, and this is backed up by clear design and new imagery to enhance ease of use, particularly in situations where a quick check or confirmation is required. The guide is intended to be downloaded, eliminating the dependency on mobile or Wi-Fi signals.

Accessibility:

Registered liquid fuel technicians have received an email with links to the free digital desktop and mobile versions, ensuring you have the guide wherever work takes you. If you prefer a physical copy, the guide is also available for purchase on our OFTEC Direct shop (See QR code below).
