have tried bleeding from pump but still no joy checked on oil line filter oil flowing past filter which is next to tank.

If the oil line refuses to bleed, we use a syringe to pull it through......sometimes nothing else works!

hi would I syringe from pump nipple or from line below tiger loop

thanks

Check oil filters in the line they may be blocked due to the run-out and sludge! if these are OK then as already suggested use a suction pump to pull up the oil

 

[Burnerman]

If you can get hold of a syringe, then attach it to the line that goes into the suction end of the pump.
The pump should take care of the rest, but as suggested do check any filters / water traps first.

Unless there is a blockage in the fuel line, a faulty oil pump (or no bypass screw) the tigerloop unless fooked should prime on its own.
I have never needed to use a pump except on the GOK's.

I had a hell of a time today trying to get a Tigerloop to pull from a top entry tank my suction pump decided to become an "Ex" suction pump so in the end I obtained a quantity of oil into a container -(lifted from the tank) I put the end of the suction flexi hose into this container and put an empty container under the now dissed feed from the Tiger - Ran the Burner & Bingo it filled in seconds a quick reconnect and away she went (Phew!!)
