Our experience with home heating systems is limited, but our experience is that hoses are metal and don’t need to be replaced, and there are no seals. A home heating system isn’t an engine, which burns fuel to create energy (in the process creating heat). Home heating systems just burn fuel for heat. They’re quite simple. Unfortunately, newer systems seem to use ‘electric eye’ technology to sense heat that won’t work with high blends of biodiesel. Older systems that use mercury switches should be adaptable. It should also be possible to use SVO without ill effects in home heating.
