Bob, when you say I may have sucked water through do you mean the liquid from the bleed screw may be a mixture of water and Kerosene? It certainly smells like Kerosene. The kerosene that comes out of the bleed screw is warm as the boiler tries to ignite. Do you recommend I keep bleeding for a...

I thought any excess would burn off quickly too but it has been almost a week now. I already checked for leaks by placing a piece of paper under the burner and leaving overnight but it was dry in the morning. There was no smell before the tank was disconnected which is why I am looking to...
