Guys, my oil boiler stopped suddenly though after checks I can see still got 33 cm oil (by stick dip test). Since we are in a heatwave now its OK for not having this now. But I am wondering what could be wrong here to stop boiler? what checks I should try before calling the service engineer...?
Since dip test shows 33 cm, is that could be 33 cm sludge in the tank? I am not aware when last cleaning of tank happened. Is this an opportunity for me to get somebody for clearing that sludge..? How can i check its really sludge in the tank as dip test doesn't give me any clue. I I have n't got a small wired camera either..
I know this expert area only done by qualified people so not planning to do anything stupid!!
But DIY checks I could do here to get right engineer. If there is sludge then people to empty tank first, then oil order. If not sludge then order oil first then service engineer to check.
Any suggestion..?
