Hi
We have a vented oil-fired heating system with a coal fire back boiler, this is going to be changed to a sealed pressurized system tomorrow and I believe, they are decommissioning the back boiler.

Hi - I've had some conflicting advice so looking for confirmation please - what size should a heat sink radiator for a log burner/boiler be? I've been told by one installer 10% of output to water and another 20%. I can;t find aything in building regs and can;t find a HETAS document with that...
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 guys, will be grateful for your advice. Riello rdb1 in Grant combi. When boiler has been switched off for several hours on start up burner cycles properly and boiler runs OK. Having reached operating temp with heating and hot water all fine, on demanding heat once again the fan motor runs but...

Has anyone come across this before. Lead from the electrode on Firebird Combi. 2 years old. Riello 2.2 burner. If so any any ideas re Cause?
possibly looks like it has been touching the oil line nut. But sheathing should protect it
Thanks
Looking to replace our RIELLO 40 FS10 (3758435) Gas burner - 0.13kW, FAM.OIK.2 =12 -100mbar (42-116kW) but can no longer see the availability of this particular burner. Looks like it has a newer model that may have superseded it. Am I right in saying the replacement would be the RIELLO 40 GS10...
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...
I am told that a Toby 4cc-13cc oil control valve can be used to replace my Rayburn’s faulty obsolete BM30 4cc-13cc oil control valve.
Will the Toby fit directly in place of the BM30 on the same mounting bracket on the side of the Rayburn, and are the Toby’s inlet and outlet connections in line...
Looking for help identifying a photocell for an old Myson Velaire oil boiler. The current photocell is a danfoss 057h202d type D photocell, which I can’t find listed anywhere. So I would be very grateful if someone might know which current photocells might be compatible.
Regards

My Danesmoor is on last legs. Actually was when I posted on here two years ago asking about Firebird as a replacement, but limped along. Now however the writing really is on the wall so need to replace this summer.
Heating engineer is wedded to Firebird but not heard good things about out of...
New tank going in and need to transfer a thousand litres of kero.
can anyone recommend a decent transfer pump.
Loads on eBay but interested to hear personal experiences.

I have a oil fired Rayburn with a BM controller and flexitemp, installed for 10yrs +, which has developed a fault.
It runs OK either high or low settings through the day but when left over night on low setting goes out ?
Flexitemp seems to operate when tested
Any help would be appreciated
