Yep, 1 small bottle of 200ml treats 1000l of kero, if I remember. About a tenner a shot but it could be cheaper on line.
The other guys may comment on its performance but my system has an Atkinson filter bowl with a gauze screen inside, and I always ensure that no water gets to the pump - which is a sure killer.

Thanks again for the words of wisdom.
Final question to you all. Is there model/brand of oil pressure gauge that you prefer for oil boilers? Don't want to buy a pup

This should suit you fine.
You'll also need the manifold to connect the gauge easily.

Sorry, the gauge has escaped
