    Hi would anyone have had a similar problem... I’m getting a strong kerosene smell as soon as I switch my heating on ... my boiler is outside at the end of the garden beside the oil tank the smell goes a while after I switch the heating off? Do I need to replace the clock/switch? TIA

    fumes entering the building via open window/vent is possibly what u are getting


    outdoor boiler means no oil entering your house no need to replace clock etc unless its a smell from loose terminals on the timer

    It seems to be in the corner where the clock/timer is window not open but the cooker hood vent is above it over the presses

    that would be the most likely cause

    in that case your boiler is not running correctly a good service I would think will solve your problems

    I was going to suggest a test but id get killed when the police arrive later
