Hi,
Sorry another boiler problem to bore you all with.
I'm having a new oil boiler fitted in a few weeks but for now our ancient Trianco redfyre 15/19 is playing up, it's 6deg in the house.....damn my crittal windows.
Only been in the house 6 months and it's guzzled 1000ltrs of oil already, i've been keeping an eye on the level but when I checked yesterday it seemed empty on the guage so I dipped it and its just above the outlet(tank is sloped to rear)
I immediatly switched the boiler off but can't get a delivery of oil untill Friday so transfered 100ltrs from my neighbours tank, let it all settle for 30 mins then fired up the boiler. It ran for 30 seconds and then the red lockout light came on so reset it on the little control panel and tried again...same thing happened.
Anyone familiar with these old boilers? Does the oil line need bleeding? or has it sucked up some crap from the tank?
Im a sparky so im going to be carefull poking around in there but is there anything I can do myself to get it working again before my daughters ears snap off?
The only thing ive tried is so far is clean the photocell.
Thanks for any replies in advance.
