Is it Ok to use brass compression fittings in an oil supply line.

Looking at the BES website ther are flared fittings (a la car brakes
available as well).

I have to run a feed to oil fired boiler. I intend to do 10mm copper
from tank to fire valve (1st+2nd 10mm to 1/4" BSP convertion) then
10mm to isolation valve (3rd & 4th 10mm to 1/4bsp conversion) then
10mm into boiler (external grant) where it gets converted to 2/8" BSP
to connect to supplied flexible line. The later seems rather long at
900mm given the manufacturers statement that it should not go outside
the boiler case.

Overall supply line is about 5 meters.
