BECKETT OIL BURNER TRIPPING SAFETY CONTROL WILL NOT FIRE

[@SilverCymbal]

I love watching Steve diagnose these heating issues. He might the only one there left doing lower cost fixes like this. I have a feeling another company would making this customer buy a Roth for $5k No better oil guy out there than Steve!

[@Ottonic6]

This homeowner is pretty knowledgeable. That's always nice.

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Steve, I think 800 is a good deal for labeling the truck, definitely like the new truck doesn't sound like it's falling apart like the old one did, it's nice and quiet.

I agree with that Im always blowing the dust off my dash

[@mimelio]

Another great video and that new truck sound much more quieter than the old one.

[@northwoodsguy1538]

There is biodiesel and renewable diesel. They are both made from grease and cooking oil. Biodiesel is crappy stuff not processed enough so bugs and shit want to grow and make slime. Renewable diesel is made in a refinery and instead of using crude oil they use old cooking grease and oil and process with catalysts and hydrogen to make a fuel identical to regular fuel.

[@porky7753]

Steven, the homeowner got really quiet after that 1st shot did not get it. He must of felt his wallet get lighter.

[@denisohbrien]

Steve, here in the UK i have run my workshop heater on biodiesel. doesnt care a jot. no difference. (riello burner) hell the thing will run on straight vegetable oil if its heated to 80 deg c first lol

[@denisohbrien]

The biggest issue ive had with biodiesel (Im an auto-diagnostic guy) is it breaks down the crud in tanks and sends it upstream, so can be really heavy on filters when introduced, but doesnt eseem to effect engines or in my limited experience, burners.

[@coreybabcock2023]

Will burn sooty on veg oil

[@sixstrings1063]

My 30 year old beckett oil forced hot air furnace had a big rumbling backfire at startup last year. I didn't get to it yet, using a couple electric heaters. Wondering if the electric is safer and similar cost, no backfire scares

[@coreybabcock2023]

Check your air to fuel ratio and check for clogged nozzle too

[@charliehill6914]

Love your oil burner videos. For 40 years, until this fall, I lived in a house with an oil fired furnace. In recent years everyone in this area has gone to heat pumps and gas packs. The techs here now don't know how to work on an oil burner. I had to teach myself how to keep it going. I hope you still plan to put one if the diesel heaters in your new truck? I want one and would love to see you set it up and get your thoughts on it. No one here that I know of uses one. I'd like to have one for emergency and auxillary heat.

[@coreybabcock2023]

I have a Chinese diesel heater here in my 98 Ford e250 homemade camper van it's a great heater I use a 5 gal gas can as the diesel tank for it

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

Great videos as always. Question. I always wondered, what do you do with the oil that spills into your pan.

[@denisohbrien]

I believe he usually just chucks it back in the tank. would be dumb to try throw it in the truck etc (when he had diesel) its the customers fuel, goes in the customers tank. thats how I do it.

[@DAS-Videos]

He sells it back to the oil man, and the oil man sells it back to the customer. hehe just kidding.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i take it to the landfill in my area ..they have a recycle oil area i can dump it in .if its clean i dump it back in the customers tank

[@tccoggs]

I run mine through a paper cone filter and right back into the tank

[@coreybabcock2023]

Can this type of oil burn good in my Chinese diesel heater ?

[@UQRXD]

How do you get muck in tank?

[@Mike-ub1tc]

On this new fuel , they are using it in over the road trucks . And to change out fuel filters more then use to . Also some of the filters are junk plug up to fast

[@zippythechicken]

i saw them making biodiesel they have 2 ways.. cut it with kerosene and you're good to go.. or mix it with alcohol and it has some kind of reaction and you have to filter it.. people use it in their diesel engines.. probably not a bad deal if you could get enough of it but you would have to have a lot of fast food places willing to give it to you.. they will though because they have to pay to get it hauled. whatever I did I would want to filter it real good and mix it with good diesel and only use it in a pre DEF truck. its a lot of effort

that would be sweet to get one of those Beckett boilers here in MN. ha By now, I'd be able to work on it! (if you think about it, just dial into Steve's channel) Pretty complicated to put into an existing house?

[@william121852]

I have never run a fuel line off the bottom of the tank , always top feed . To many fuel companies insist on bottom feed with a filter , don't do it . These pumps have a vertical lift of 6' + with a 3/8 " line .

[@brucemcgee2281]

I remember servicing the Beckett burners when this was the latest thing. Looks like there are not many brand-specific burners out there anymore. I can remember Lennox, and their belt drive burners, Wayne burners, Mueller Climatrol burners, Armstrong, etc, etc, etc. Now, it's all the same, except for those Riello (?) branded burners that we were told not to work on back in the 1980's.

[@ApexChrisHansen]

Only guys I’ve ever seen scared of riello burners are hacks and half assers

[@sixstrings1063]

Subbed, It's good for me to watch and learn some things from a good beckett burner technician, thanks

[@herbward5240]

Steve, I think it’s time for a floating pick up for that old bottom feeder tank

[@Hvac-dude]

Hey Steve!! I agree I wouldn't want cooking oil to be burning in my furnace we were just talking bout that in trade school today I like kerosen !!

[@jblyon2]

I mean you need extra filters to run that stuff in a diesel vehicle (either in the vehicle, or filtering it when mixing it yourself). Dumping it in people's heating oil tanks is crazy. Filtered properly things will run fine on it, but a standard tank filter doesn't stand a chance!

[@Hvac-dude]

@jblyon2 it sure doesent I enjoy using kerosen because it burns cleaner and hotter in my opinion

[@cndream1]

Is there any way to pre-filter the oil before it goes into the tank ?

[@coreybabcock2023]

Possible but tank needs to be drained down and cleaned and then a good pre filter at the fuel fill

[@patrickmack1173]

If you blow the blockage back won't it block it again eventually?

[@dangates3022]

glad to see your finally happy with the new truck!

[@DeadKoby]

I live in the region where Beckett's factory is. In this area, most of us have Natural Gas, so I don't get to see the equipment in action.

[@robertsitch1415]

I guess you are near the Elyria factory. They have a Canadian factory in Guelph, Ontario, which supplies a lot of the oil furnaces made in Canada.

[@donalbanese7720]

Hey Steve if you where to install a new output 4" from the bottom on the oil tank do you drill a new hole and tap it ??

[@mmurphyslaw8592]

He said he would go in from top of tank. There are existing taps on top to use

[@dcrog69]

You replace one of the plugs in the top of the tank with one made special so you can run copper tubing to whatever height you want.

[@thebiggerman6975]

I always get nervous fooling with the oil tank filter, My neighbor who was on the fire department told me a story about a burner man sent to replace the gauge on a oil tank in the basement of a home, While changing the gauge his wrench slipped off the top of the tank and snapped off the filter ,he plugged the hole with his thumb ,of course the tank was full and to top it off he had no cell signal,he had his thumb in the hole for 6 hours till the homeowner returned home ,I have since protected my tank from a similar issue,what a pissa,

[@sixstrings1063]

My oil tank has shut off valve at the tank outlet.

[@coreybabcock2023]

Supposed to have a shutoff Valve before and after the filter like in this video

In Canada they typically make you replace them after 15-20 years if you want to have homeowners insurance.

[@craigharding475]

The general opinion about bio-diesel seems to be that most furnaces can handle up to a blend of 20% bio mixed with 80% pure diesel. But what if someone cheats and adds more than 20%? Would someone cheat or get sloppy? Of course they would! I also read that major production of bio-fuels can be a problem because it puts a big demand upon available water resources and actually produces greenhouse gas in the process. Plus, Steve has already found that it is a nuisance for furnace maintenance. People are even making their own bio-diesel; and what could go wrong with THAT? Yep, leave it to the government! I had an issue once, when a sloppy driver did not flush his truck`s diesel tank compartment before filling it with red kero for my delivery. He added sludge from his TRUCK`S tank to my own tank according to the driver of the new company that I replaced him with..

Wow, you just recently changed the filter and it’s already dirty plus the tank needed two shots to unplug it? That tank must really be full of sludge, I don’t think I’d trust that to keep running for long. It’ll probably stop running on the coldest damn day!

So Steve,if that tank plugs again,whats the correct procedure for douching out that sludge Regards from Maine

[@DAS-Videos]

Can use a hand pump or an air compressor. When I did it to mine I was always scared that the air pressure would blow a hole in a weak spot in the tank. I would set the relief valve to the lightest setting on the compressor at first.

[@kevo8225]

Silver king hand pump , works great , regards from downeast

[@markpontes4457]

@@DAS-Videos There is a bid vent on top of the tank small volume of air in co2 cartridge would never build pressure, when they fill it up it would build more pressure then that.
