Green Diesel - Boiler Not Working

Sean^DCT4 · 2011-01-08 14:42:21

Hi all, We have green diesel heating in our rented house and the green diesel ran out and we think it is air-locked. I tried to let some oil/diesel out of the pipe coming from the tank to the boiler. Didn't seem to do anything. Can anyone tell me from the pictures where I should be sorting the air-lock out from? Thanks…

On The left hand side of the burner there are two bolts. The top one, you need to unscrew. Do this fully, until diesel starts to come out. when it does replace the bolt, but do not close it fully, say leave it open one turn. Press the big reset button and wait a couple of seconds.You should hear the fuel pump kick in, and the boiler fire up. When it does, close the bolt straight away, and jobs done.....
