“We’re fitting a boiler ?” Mira sneered. “In 2026? Fossil fuels are over, Arthur.”

No clatter. No smoke. No smell of paraffin. Just a low, clean hum. The radiators, cold for a decade, began to tick and warm. The controller, following the logic of BS 5410-3’s Annex B (Control Strategies for Hybrid Systems), had calculated the optimal moment to switch.

It spoke of “B100 bio-liquid” made from waste cooking oil. It spoke of “hybrid matrix controllers” that could switch from biofuel to a heat pump to a thermal store. Most importantly, Clause 7.4.2.3—the one everyone feared—dealt with the interstitial leak detection in double-skinned tanks that would be filled with viscous, organic fuel that could turn to soap if water got in.

In its place, Arthur installed a gleaming, double-skinned, polyethylene tank with a sensor in the interstitial gap, exactly as BS 5410-3 demanded (Clause 7.4.2.3). If the inner skin wept biofuel, the outer skin would catch it, and a red light would flash on a panel in Mrs. Hillingdon’s kitchen.
