I've got an external oil tank about 1m below the burner, and I've fitted a Tigerloop Bio right next to the burner itself. I'm priming the oil pipe by physically disconnecting it from the bottom of the Tigerloop, then reconnecting it. The burner runs for a bit and then stops after a minute or so.
The Tigerloop is connected to the burner by the usual two flexible pipes, so I can't really see what's going on. I previously had the Tigerloop set up about a metre away from the burner and about 300 mm lower, and in this set up I had a plastic flow tube from the Tigerloop to the burner, which allowed me to see what was going on. After priming the flow tube (not the oil inlet, as is currently the case), I saw a few bubbles coming up, and then a lot of frothing.
The connections between the burner and the Tigerloop are tight, so I don't see how air could be getting in there. I can't see whether or not there's froth in my current setup with the Tigerloop right next to the burner.
Any ideas? I'd really appreciate some help - I'm at the end of my tether!
