If you burn unauthorised fuels you could face fines of as much as PS1,000 per hour due the amount of particles that are released into the air.
This is accomplished by a new clean-burn system which has been upgraded with a pre-heated feed of air that is introduced to the combustion chamber via jets and channels over the fire.
