If you wish to take advantage of the savings available on larger quantities of EkoFuel and have several boxes delivered at once, you may wish to store the bulk of the fuel in a cool garage or shed. If the fuel has been stored in a cool place, we recommend allowing the ethanol to come to room temperature before use. To stay at the forefront of sustainable energy innovation, EkoFuel invests significantly in research and development. We collaborate with leading scientists, engineers, and institutions to explore new technologies and improve energy efficiency. By supporting cutting-edge research, EkoFuel paves the way for ground breaking advancements in renewable energy. Yes. Although through simple maths, it is easy to calculate that even if the starting point of any UK denatured bioethanol fuel is 100% bioethanol, after the addition of the HMRC required denaturing agents, 3% vol IPA and 3% vol MEK, the bioethanol content would be 94%. Stating this % bioethanol on the bottle would be unhelpful, since the bioethanol fuel mixture would contain no water and would therefore run hotter than intended. It is for this reason that it is the starting mixture % bioethanol that is quoted on the Ekofuel bottle, to which is added the minimum denaturants required by UK or EU law and no water is subsequently added. The resulting product, whether its is denatured to the UK or EU recipe performs similarly and is acceptable to bioethanol fireplace manufacturers.

In this article, we will review some of the most common features of ethanol fuels to help clarify some of this confusion. Gel or Liquid? You’ll find Ekofuel in Unit 2, Chestenton Court, Eastwood Trading Estate, Rotherham, South Yorkshire, S65 1SJ.We can deliver up to 24 x 1 litres of bioethanol to Scottish Highlands and Islands, Isle of Man, Isle of Wight and Northern Ireland. Ekofuel is suitable for use in any indoor or outdoor ethanol fireplace designed to use liquid bioethanol fuel. It is double rectified for purity and produced under strict quality control procedures according to ISO 9001:2015. EkoFuel is clean burning, smokeless, ash-free, and emits very little odour. Our bioethanol fuel is produced from molasses, a waste by-product of growing sugar beet, making it an environmentally friendly fuel with a low carbon footprint. The CO2 released when burning bio ethanol was first absorbed when the crops used to make the bioethanol were grown, in contrast to non-renewable oil-based fuels that release CO2 absorbed millions of years ago.

EkoFuel is a registered trade name of Prima Industries Ltd www.primaind.co.uk, a UK-based company with a strong presence in the heating industry since 2006. You are fed up of eating food that smells of petrol which makes you become nauseous then Ekofuel is here to make you enjoy your food without any smells.Firstly let’s clear up the confusion between liquid and Gel. These are not the same thing and it is likely that your appliance or burner will be designed to only use one of these fuel types. So it is important that you buy the right one. If storing ethanol in a workplace, please refer to the HSE regulations regarding the storage of flammable liquid and make sure you comply with these regulations. Ekofuel is a trade name of Prima Industries Limited which has been trading continuously since 2006. Ekofuel was established as a brand in 2011. All their bioethanol fuels are methanol free and therefore safer than those containing methanol such as methylated spirits for their clients alcohol camping stoves and alcohol marine stores.

Because the bioethanol fuel denaturing recipe differs in the UK and Europe and there is no bioethanol fuel EN standard to meet, bioethanol fireplace manufacturers are looking for simple, clear messaging that indicates that a bioethanol fuel meets an expected quality. One such message, is the % bioethanol in the fuel. Whether a bioethanol fuel is denatured to the UK denaturing protocol or the EU protocol, both fuel recipes start with ethanol. The % ethanol in the starting raw material can vary and it is this % ethanol that bioethanol fireplace manufacturers are referring to. By referring to the % bioethanol in the raw product, the fireplace manufacturer can then assume that the bioethanol fuel manufacturer denatures the product to the minimum required by either UK or EU law and that the denatured bioethanol fuel is not watered down subsequently. If you have searched online for “Bioethanol Fuel”, you will have likely come across a number of products. Some liquid, some in Gel form, some stating different ethanol contents or percentages and some scented or marked as “low odour”. For more information on the differences between gel and liquid fuel you can see our article on that topic here: What is the difference between Liquid and Gel bio ethanol fuel? Denaturant percentage.

As with adding denaturants, adding scents to the fuel can affect how it burns. In our experience of testing scented fuels, it can also be difficult to find a product that smells as advertised. All bioethanol fuels work by burning vapours (not the actual liquid) and when the temperature of ethanol falls below 15⁰C it doesn’t vaporise well, which means it becomes difficult to light. Ekofuel deliver high quality, environmental friendly bioethanol fuel for bioethanol fires to thousands of their clients online. Their aim is to make sure you have no more food tainted with the smell of petrol and petrol fumes. They are very committed to their customers.
