Hi, just recently moved to a house that has Oil fired CH & DHW sytem (fully pumped). I wish to fit an immersion heater for hot water only during the summer months as I did at my previous properties.
Does anyone have any suggestions on removing the cap on the top of the tank as it wont budge? at present the tank doesn't have an immersion heater. I've read other posts about how fragile the copper cylinders are and don't want to do any damage. I have a decent fitting socket and large extension bar.
I've been able to partially drain the tank and isolate the cold water feed to the system.
All the electrics are in place and have been checked by an electrician. For the sake of an immersion heater and new flex we'd be there. It just seems the previous occupants were happy with this arrangement.
Any advice suggestions I'd be gateful.
