Thermocon wall mounted 40/50 boiler

[debsbeakley]

recently bought a cottage with oil fired central heating. We have a thermocon minor 1 regular boiler. We need to prime it but the previous owner has not left the manual behind so we're a bit stuck! Anybody out there got any ideas?
Cheers,
Deb

I've got loads of ideas, but what do you mean by prime it, why do you need to "prime it"? What problem do you have.

The oil from the tank is not reaching the boilerie the boiler is higher than the tank.

Does the oil pump have two pipes on it (apart from the feed to the nozzle)? How much highrer than the tank is the boiler?
