Normally the oil deposit is in the house or in earth with some insulation on top of it in colder climates. In the colder climate the fuel lines also run deep and/or are insulated. In both cases of storage placement, the storage temperatures for both indoor and outdoor are constant during the whole year and should not effect the BD use. Most burners have a preheating as standard and will deliver the diesel fuel with a predetermined temperature to the burner. If you already took care of the issues in the burner/boiler, which are viscosity and flame temperature related, a conversion of burner/boiler to BD will result in a lowering of capacity with 30 to 40%. Which is no problems, since normally the burner boilers are over dimensioned with 3 to 6 times anyway. It is actually positive from efficiency and pollution aspects.
