Before the service - no smell.

Immediately after the service - no smell.

About 4 hours after the service - smell of fumes in the boiler room (either exhaust or kerosene, hard to be certain).

Have checked everything very carefully, no sign of a leak.

A thorough service was carried out, the burner nozzle was also replaced.

I've noticed in the past that there's more of a smell immediately after a service but that always dissipates after a few hours. This is different in the sense that there was no smell at first, it only started a few hours later.

The boiler is a Danesmoor 15 19

Any ideas please?

(I'll call the engineer tomorrow if it continues).

Thanks. Strangely enough the smell is easing now (the boiler is still on). Maybe something burning off as a result of the service?
