    Make and model?
    Do you have the user manual?

    Most boilers have a bleed point on the fuel pump/supply side near the fuel inlet. It may be either a normal nut or an allen screw. Undo and wait for all air to drain if a gravity feed system or run pump if pumped feed system and wait for air to vent then restart boiler.

    normally a nut underside of the pump about 10mm head...switch on and open 1/4 turn with cup underneath....as soon as you see oil, close.
