sediments: are solid foreign bodies and toluene-insoluble parts of heating oils Sediments can, especially in the presence of water, form sludgy residues that block up filters and nozzles According to DIN 51603 the limit for sediments in heating oil EL is max 0 05 mass percent The sediment content in heating oil storage tanks can rise over time (ageing)
