Noisy, prob motor or plastc conn between motor and pump. Could be fan catching as well.

As always you will get a better idea when its in front of you.

Oil pump run dry? Fan out of line? Choked up with soot?

 

[P J F PLUMBING]

Pump had failed I have 4 pumps on the van ............ Not one was the right one. Dammmmmmm 89 miles there errrrrrrrr

What pump was it? BFP11? for not a lot of dough, I keep most the common ones, then its never a wasted journey!
I've was in a plumbers merchant a while ago and a bloke came in asking about fuel pumps, I thought I'd lean in and say, obviously you know you need to set the pump pressure to the boiler setting then check all the CO2 readings etc, or you will choke your boiler up in a week. This was followed by a look of horror on his face thinking it was a quick fix a home owner could do haha, never knew what happened but I did hand him my card.

He's been cleaning his boiler out every 2 weeks to save face and saving spending some money. Lol.

BFP 21L does most jobs.
A 21R for Minor burners
A 11L does a few including the Inter 2000. Also handy a 11R for Minor burners - especially in Cookers (because you can't get at the adjustments on the side of the BFP 21 on some ranges.)
A 41L for Inter B9 burners saves you any bother trying to alter things to suit a 21L

and a 996 and a 953 for the RBL/ Mectrons.

I used to carry the Delta ones but just threw away the last one, for British made stuff, they are horrible.
