Bleeding boiler

Rocket Man

Hi
We just ran outta oil and now the burner has become air locked.
It's a riello RDB burner, now I've done all the googling and I've loosened the bleed valve with the Allen key and pressed the button loads of times to restart. While the burner starts but not firing and I'm not getting any fuel.
As we are only going to be in the house for another 2 months we just got 200 ltrs in the tank, the tanks is about 6 meters from the burner.
Anyone able to shed a little light where I'm going wrong.
Thanks

Is there a fire valve that's close
Remove Allen screw at burner and let oil run until it's flowing freely then refit screw and away you go

Got it sorted, thanks jimf. Ends up I had a air locked pipe between the oil tank and the boiler. Got a suction pump and got the oil flowing again, put it all back together and away she goes. ðŸ‘ðŸ»
