    Riello Oil Burner Oil Supply Issue

    Bottom part simply unscrews. Turn off gate valve, unscrew filter casing, slowly turn on gate valve with receptical underneath to see if there is a flow from the tank to start with. You will need a replacement gasket and filter when reassembling. Might be easier, and just as cheap, to replace...
