What are different types of Solid Fuel? |
1. COAL
- is subject to spontaneous combustion (except anthracite)
To avoid this:
1. Kept in cool area
2. The storage area should be free of debris(rags/wood etc)
3. Do not add Wet coal to dry coal -stored outdoors - 50 to 100 ft away from other exposures
- stored indoors - 2 hr fire rated vault - moderate amounts
- ashes kept in metal container with tight lid
2. WOOD
- should be stored in dry place for 1 year before using - wood should be stacked so both ends are exposed - green or wet wood produces creosote -creosote sticks to flue liner and makes an extremely hot fire
Stored outdoors - 50 to 100 feet
Indoor
- not stored in open - in cut off room - no more than 1 day supply
- remove ashes
3. Wood pellets
- made from compacted sawdust
- due to combustibility it's recommended that it stored away from a heat source
- Wood pellets do not create as much creosote as wood |

Aboveground
- have a maximum individual capacity of 2500 L
- combined aggregate capacity (two tanks) is 5000 L
Underground tanks

- tanks installed in in lowest storey or basement... 1. THE CAPACITY should not exceed 2500 L for any ONE TANK 2. The total capacity of TANK( S) should not exceed 5000L
- for any tank that burn USED OIL, the minimum size shall be 910L
- temperature of oil in tank should not exceed 38 C -distance of any oil fired appliance should be at least 2 ft from tank
- tank installation must be at least 1 m of working space from electrical panel (must not interfere)
- must have 1 hr fire resistance rating
