Hi D Hailsham, picture sent on 26/10, Please let me know if it's insufficient and I will re take. Thanks.

Can I just ask, is there a difference between a pressurised system and a pumped one and if so,can you explain please ( in idiots guide terms please(n) Thanks again.

Thank you oilboffin,jeffthegasman and Hugh. Hugh, the only place I haven't looked for this elusive pump is in the loft. Before I go scrabbling about up there, is it likely/ possible it could be there? I feel like I'm taking 1 step forward and a hundred back. Maybe,as Jeff says, I need to get a...

Hi Hugh and D.Hailsham and many thanks for your continued help,particularly Hugh for that explanation. I have been unable to find any pump inside the house,the only one being that inside the boiler which Hailsham suggests brings the oil from the oil tank to the boiler. So,does the absence of a...

Hugh, thanks for your reply. The only pump I've seen is that inside the boiler ( the boiler being outside the house). The boiler is a Firebird Heatpac/Heatpac S 90 and the pump label says it is a Riello RDB 2.2 Firebird C26 90K,if that helps. I still don't understand what this pump does or what...

Hi Havefound manual and it seems there is a pump inside the boiler. But D Hailsham talked about a pump which brings the oil from the tank to the boiler,so I'm a little confused( again,sorry!). Where would that pump be? Near/ inside the tank? Would there be 2 pumps, one in or near the tank,then...

Hi and thanks for contacting me. The answer is no ( our boiler is situated outdoors).So I guess that means it's a gravity fed system but I'd be really grateful if you'd just confirm please. Many thanks.

Obviously not....

Hi, just wondered if anyone managed to come up with an answer to my question?

Pete, just the one tank in the loft. Forgot to respond on this, sorry.

Actually, scrap that last reply. I can put the HW on alone but if I set the valve to CH then both the CH and HW come on together.

Hi gasmanstu and pete, apols for the delay in replying. Hope the above pics help. Yes, I can operate the two systems independently by turning a valve (which hopefully you can just see above the Myson box, in the photo); it's because its such a pain to do this each time I want to operate the HW...

Hi Muggles and thanks for replying so quickly. We have a Firebird Oil fired boiler, which is situated outside of the house. Unfortunately there's no model number on it (or if there was, it's rubbed off!). Does that help?

Hi, I've just found your forum so this is my first question. I have read the other posts on this topic but as I live out in the Irish countryside and most of the other Q's seem to come from UK residents, I thought I'd double check to be sure - hope you don't mind! I want to buy a new CH/HW...
