How much oil does a burner burn?

I just had the tank filled and I'm trying to estimate how long the oil will last. How many litres of oil do typical burners use? Also, I know that servicing the burner improves efficiency, but by how much? how much can a service reduce oil consumption?

It depends on the size of the boiler, but in the region of 2.5Litres per hour of burner run time.

If the burner was set up correctly in the first instance, and nothing has actually gone wrong since - not that much.
