Why are all these boilers supplied with a clear plastic fuel line?.

ground level so 5m lower than the burners.So each unit has a Tigerloop which are all supplied with half inch iron pipework. Each unit has isolating valve 3\8 regulator oil filter then tigerloop. Can anyone...
Got this from a friend which allegedly was in continuous use for 35 years!!, the (Firebird) boiler was/is running on a mixture of 75% "diesel" + 25% kerosene, the nozzle itself seems to be of a different material to the modern ones, it was spotlessely clean when I dissassembled it, I would love...
Noticed today that the ground looked damp around the outside of our Worcester Bosch Heatslave 25/32 External Boiler. Took the cover off and warm water is pooling in the base of the unit. Can't see an obvious leak and all the components are dry. I'm guessing it's the thermal store leaking. Is...
I've a client with a rusty 20yr+ old Certikin 180 (44kw) oil pool boiler that needs changing. Certikins replacement looks like it is the exact same boiler. It has a riello r40 burner and non condensing 85% efficient boiler... Oftec say it wouldn't be compliant and would have to contact Building...
Heatslave II 25/32 water leak from PHE Inlet block. When DHW PRV fitting was removed a white flat seal/washer was found in 3 pieces. This seal is not listed on any diagram. It sits ahead of the rubber o ring item 45 on drawing and has has the same ID and OD as the oring but is made from white...
Been in property about 10 years and the valve on the (round/bunded) Balmoral tank has always been in pretty rusty state. Tank is 5,000 litres but only got about 300L left at the moment. Please see picture.
Looking for opinions on whether to get valve/filter assembly replaced due to rust or if I...
Hi Folks
I'm wondering anyone here, has any indepth knowledge on the Worcester Heatslave Combi Boiler. This boiler is quite old (2006) but it has been very reliable, and also runs at superb efficiency when tested, regularly serviced etc.
The boiler is in a very old stone cottage (built 1791)...
Evening All,
I have a customer who wants a modern oil boiler fitting to replace his ancient one. The big problem is he's divided his house into two with a holiday cottage next door. I'm not sure but surely that's against Building Regs and he needs two boilers?. Can anyone advise me?
Thanks,
Jock
I have a Grant Vortex Blue 26kw external oil boiler, installed less than 12 months ago. It's had intermittent non-starting problems resulting in multiple warranty visits, part replacements and eventually burner replacement. The replaced burner I discovered was a 'yellow flame' one, apparently...
My oil boiler is 2009 vintage. Just been serviced. Had a new tank fitted by approved fitter. I notice that the bottom of the tank is roughly on the level of the boiler feed pipe. Then I notice in the Grant instal manual for a single pipe feed the tank should be 300mm min above the boiler feed...
If any of you engineers out there take one of these Potterton BOA sectional boilers out before taking it to the scrap yard ring me 07977722363 because I want a spare section.
I fitted a brand new section to a 108 and the company did not have the decency to let me know a couple of years or so...
My firebird oil boiler hw supply is luke warm, but does heat up slightly when run if the ch is on at the same time.
Is this a faulty diverter valve?
If so could I replace this myself as I've heard they're expensive to fix.

Hi, I have a combi boiler that fails to fire up and sustain the burn. I read a similar post on this site but it doesn't precisely match my needs hence this post.
Let me explain, and apologies for the less technical description since I use a plumber for my problems but he seems stuck on this...

Hi,
I'm looking to change our boiler as part of some general house renovations. Could anyone recommend one that's going to be ultra reliable? I'm seeing lots of firebird problems on these forums, not so many Worcester Bosch issues. Are they worth the extra outlay?
Thanks
Alan

Hi,
I have a three-zone 2016 house with gas heating. When the downstairs heating switches off, it bangs extremely loudly. I have tried adding clips and it only helps to a point, I would have to take down plasterboard to get at the noisest part. The valve appears to be the correct direction. I...
I have been told that I can't have a mains pressure unvented hot water cylinder with a back boiler on a wood burning stove as the heat source is uncontrollable.
Is there a method to make the heat source controllable?
I was imagining that if the cylinder was at its maximum temperature then if...
Hi, we have Worcester Bosch heatslave external oil boiler 18/25
Boiler locked out. Pressure was below 0.5 so brought pressure back up. When lock out is reset the burner attempts to light but sounds like a bag of spanners and cuts out again smelling strongly of oil. We have plenty of oil & the...
Hi,
Newbie here so feel free to teach me the etiquette of this place, and apologies for the lengthy opening post.
The boiler started locking out on Friday after a long period of faultless running, there was a bit of gunk on the back of the (newish) nozzle (Danfoss Nozzle 0.65 x 80 EH) ...
Hi, just fitted a new fuel pump and control unit to my ecotherm boiler but I still can’t get any fuel to the top of the pump, nothing coming out of the bleed screw but definitely fuel in the bottom of the pump. I checked the voltage to the pump and it’s only 80volts but there is 240volts going...
