The oil supply pipeline leading from the storage tank to the boiler is routed outside the house and occasionaly during freesing conditions the system packs up because the supply is cut off. The pipe is made of copper and lagged along its entire route. It has two filters, one near the outlet from the tank and another about halfway along the pipe before it enters the house through a solid external wall.
Does anyone have any ideas as to possible causes. The temperatures here hardly ever falls below -6 degrees. Would some form of heating line wrapped around the pipe or boxing in the filters help as these are not lagged.
