Hi,
My Trianco oil burner has been off for a while as oil tank got down to the point where it always cuts out (still 3 bars left on Watchman, but always fails at this point until topped up - sludge maybe?). Left it for a couple of months as it was summer, and I was away for most of it anyway.
So now have had oil tank re-filled, but on pressing reset button on the oil burner it isn't firing up (controls in the house are calling for heat).
Could it be that some sludge from the tank has got into the burner and causing a blockage?
Does the tigerloop not prevent this?
Also, I discover two bottles of heavy duty fernox central heating restorer in the outhouse with the oil burner. Not sure how old they are, but sealed and presumabably they don't go off. Might as well use them to see if it helps. Where exactly do I pour the stuff?
Have tried to get an oil heating engineer out. Can't get one around here for love nor money sadly. So is there anything else I can try first?
Thanks in advance.....
