Need to repair an oil line that’s underground (digger/ old oil line that’s being disused) now I know it’s not the best but what’s the best practice eg flared and denso
Hi
We moved in to a new house (a 200 year old cottage) 2 months ago and had the boiler serviced just 2 weeks ago.
The guy said that the boiler has had some good money spent on it in the past and that it should be working perfectly.
However I noticed over the past few days that the water...
Hi all
Doing a full roof to ground refurb on an old rural property and looking for oil boiler reccomendations. I've happened upon the Navien brand but am unfamiliar with them-Firebird and Grant are in the mix too....

Hi everyone.
This is to do with a house not yet bought; the oil access issue may well be a deal-breaker.
The house in question has its oil tank in the back garden. Oil deliveries have historically been made via the integral garage which has a door at the back which leads into an extension...
I have a Worcester Bosch Oil Heatslave 26/32 which is about 17 years old. It has developed a fault that has come in stages so it might be more than one fault. It was fitted with the OEM programmer.
1. When the water heating is on, but the room heating is off, the boiler sometimes heats the...
Hello,
Work was undertaken in 2017 in which pipework from a new condensing boiler was routed through an external wall and then connected to the existing pipework of the underground copper oil feed pipe.
Should the system be pressure tested after completion.
If so, would it be tested at the oil...
I have a worcester greenstar camray utility 12/18 oil boiler and we have not used the hot water for years on the boiler we use it for just heating as we have electric shower and dishwasher etc. This year we thought we would use the hot water, but on turning the hot water on it only heats the...
Hey. Fairly new to oil. Serviced above boiler Last week. All working fine but now had customer call to say it keeps going to lockout.
Been and looked today. Symptoms are the boiler ignition process will start. You can hear it sparking. The boiler will fire, run for around 1 min and flame will...
Hello again.
Anyone on here familiar with the installation of remote filling pipes for domestic oil tanks?
We are trying to figure out ways of getting a delivery from the front of a cottage to the rear without going through the property. One possibility - still apparently being explored by the...
Noticed a Kerosene whiff around my tank the last few days. Found had a weep at the tank filter bowl.
stripped it down and changed the o-ring and bottom bolt seal. Boxed it back up, turned on the oil, and suddenly oil was shooting out the side of the bowl....wtf !
Further investigation showed...
I have a tank to install.
No static head, about 25m run.
Don’t want any joins.
Check the books - says I should use 6mm pipe.
Cant find a source of 6mm sleeved Copper pipe anywhere.
I guess it’ll be 8mm then.
Can only find max of 25m rolls of 8mm sleeved.
Check distance to tank ...... 26...
Anybody had any experience with a grant vortex air? Apparently a grant blue flame heat only boiler linked to a air source heat pump.
Customer wants one!
problemsolving a electro sterling burner and have narrowed thing down to the stem in the pump that the solenoid should activate- it appears to be seized solid - a magnet can't move it - the solenoid can't- and neither can I physically move the plunger with a lot of force. Time to replace it - or...
Hi all.
I am thinking about how to get the most from pv panels. I have a worcester Green star oil Combi boiler about 5 years old.
If I install a mains pressure immersion tank can I convert the boiler to a non combi type? And heat the water in the tank with the boiler.
Also is it possible to...
Hi chaps - just wondered if anyone has tried these KSF or KHF nozzles yet - see them advertised at a mere £3.95 plus vat
many thanks

I've got a problem with an oil boiler overheating the water, I have a solution and if anybody has any relevant advice, I'd be obliged.
I have a Firebird 90S oil boiler, which was installed about 10yrs ago. It has a Cordice 542788 thermostat fitted, which has a range of 60-90c apparently. The...
All the screws are sealed on the outside with silicone sealant. Also, a bead of silicone on top that support piece that twists around the pipe. Pipes are installed in proper direction, so its not leaking in the pipe assemble joints. Every pipe seam in the garage drips water when it rains.
I...
pump pressure good - nice fine spray of oil out of nozzle/ electrodes sparking nicely yet she does not ignite - any ideas fellas? have changed control box/nozz/etc etc but just will not fire...
Hi,
My regular plumber is a good guy but getting reponse from my regular plumber (and the previous one) where I live is rubbish at the best of times. And in the current climate, getting anyone else is proving (understandably) impossible
The valve, circled in white in the attached pic is...
