    It depends on your cylinder, and assuming an unpressurised system. If your hotpress cylinder has an imersion heater as well as the oil heating then it has two coils, if you want to add another heat source with the back boiler then your tank will need three coils (a new tripple coil cylinder in other words) and you will need to get the pipework from the fire to the hotpress. You may be able to use a an existing header tank as an expansion tank. Best get a good heating expert to advise as the location of the cylinder to the fire is going to be a big factor.

    If it has been glued it will probably not be usable, imo., otherwise if you get it up without damageing it it should be usable, if that makes sense.
