    Hi. Can any plumber out there tell me the type of Riello oil pump I need for a firebird super q 50/90. Thanks.

    depends on what burner is fitted

    how do you know pump is gone

    fitting a new pump interferes with the combustion of the boiler so may not be safe to operate afterwards

    best advice I can give you is get somebody experienced who can do the job for you and can do a flugas analysis after to insure all is running safely

    Thanks. I intend on getting someone in to do it. I want to have the part there for him. I'm not sure if it is working or not but I do know where the oil line is fed into the pump/burner is leaking. Its cross treaded from what I can make out so I presume I need a new pump?

    I doubt if it can be re threaded

    if you get somebody that's at boilers everyday they will have the parts in the van


    it may just be the hose that's cross threaded

    too risky even if possible
