Steven, Thanks for the Miss Molly Shots, she sure likes looking out the window 🐶👍

[@robertwojtowicz933]

Beautiful day 👌

[@integrity5264]

Positive attitude Steve, that's what you got. One of my biggest fears is the tridacator snapping off and then having to spend another hour getting it out without doing damage BB to the boiler, nice work Steve👍

[@stevenlavimoniere]

I NEVER HAD A TRYDACATOR SNAP OF ON ME IN BOILER BLOCK . YOU GOT ME THINKING NOW LOL

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Steve, I think the easy going maintenance jobs are great, Miss Molly is always trying to drive and wants to take the truck for a spin while your working.

[@johnnicatra570]

Your a good honest person I'd be happy to do business with you.

[@lesterburtard7588]

50:50 Howdy, just wanted to say, your knowledge reminds me of my father Journey Plumber and Machinist thanks for the more detailed explanation of your trade yes, i remember bringing him lunch 50+ years ago ty, les

[@edp9743]

Zoeller pumps are ok, the problem is the micro switch, they will not carry the current needed when the points in the switch age. Zoeller denies that there is an issue.

[@godsmacking99]

The switch has always been the weakest part on Zoeller's and they've never fixed it. They're good pumps besides that major design flaw. The switch either never shuts off and you go down one day and see your basement filled with smoke from the motor blowing up or the switch never turns on and you don't find that out until your basement is flooded. The former is the better failure to happen. Always make sure you have a backup pump with a Zoeller. It is critical because the switch will fail at some point.

[@jeanclaudevandam4974]

I always change my filters once a year anyway. I actually kind of enjoy doing service on my boiler because I've learned alot from watching Steve's videos.

[@mikes7639]

I know what you mean, as long as you dont shorcut its easy

[@mpalaskokkalis1476]

Perfect 👌 service boiler

[@jeffdickens7019]

Good job Steven the world is gone to hell in a handbasket why can't they let things be like it was 40 years a go

[@dangates3022]

i like that new wrench you have you used to use the thin adjustable. but that spanner wrench looks like a quicker tool instead of using a pipe wrench

Hello Steve!

[@WeatherNut27]

Nice job Steve. Needed some TLC, you seem so patient with things, inspirational.

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. for boiler pressure gauge, how do you know it was bad for replace new one ? and how many pressure and temperature in pressure gauge is good for boiler ? Thank you for sharing

[@robertmckinney8578]

Give it the old “HOW YOU DOIN MOMMA” great video Steve keep doin what you do buddy! Bullet Bob from W. Texas🤠🤠👍❤️

[@thecableguy1128]

Hey Mr Steve, have you thought about hitting the filter housing with your little brush? Sometimes they are full of that slime in your videos. Thanks love your videos.

[@marks.4388]

Heck of a job Steven! And great advice once again!

[@Deion245]

Nice video

[@DTD-no7wl]

How’s your new work truck coming along?

[@jeffweber8244]

Except for some customer inconvenience, the biofuel looks like a win-win-win. More work for hvac guys, a bit less money going to oil countries, and reduced waste oil to dispose of.

[@conorwalsh9360]

another job well done :)

[@arx9z]

What’s a good sump pump? I thought zoeller was one of the better ones.

[@godsmacking99]

Zoeller is okay but they have a common issue with failures of the switch. You definitely want to have a battery backup with a Zoeller just because of their high switch failure rate. Liberty pumps are probably a better choice.

[@DAS-Videos]

It looks like that oil tank is ready to go. Unless it is the light making the seam underneath look that way.

[@Ander5806]

Hi Steve great video just one question how do you check the transformer on that type of burner

[@AStanton1966]

Where would you dump the system to if it had be glycol, the sewer? The guy who installed that pressure/temp gauge must of been the same guy who installed the filters on some of my stuff at the factory.

[@spymaine89]

love the side comments.

[@sampantiliano]

Steve just curious do u like that model burner??

[@andrewhamelin3807]

I completely agree with you Steve. Those af2 burners are the worst. Not a good design and Beckett knows this but never changes. If I do a new boiler I’ll do a riello whenever I can. What’s your opinion of riello?

[@dwayne0t]

Steve, we're from the government, and we're here to help !

[@frankrizzo3915]

Should they just turn off the water and drain it out Instead?

[@georgehoffman6656]

Pressure, temperature, and feet height

[@JaisonAlan]

Steve!

[@ranger178]

they call those gauges tridicators but they just read 2 things pressure and temperature what is third thing that it reads?

[@larryhatfield1588]

Altitude.

My Family uses a Water Stove that burns Wood to heat Our Houses and Hot Water. They had us to put Amway Dish Detergent in Our First Water Stove, but I think We have something Different Now. I forgot what it has in This Water Stove.

Good starting point… see What’s next

[@richards5843]

My zoeller sump pump was 40 year old and it still worked but I replaced it because I thought it can go out anytime..

Hello sir How are You

[@JohnDoe_88]

Appreciate you sharing!

A return to the "oh I have to shovel around that?" house!

[@jeffrock5688]

Hey Steve you think we will need to convert bottom feed oil tanks to top feed due to the bio slim fuel

[@zackmax7184]

With Fuel like that I am surprised that The Nozzle will even spray.

[@buffydog21]

At least you're looking for your customer's best interest and not just your profits!!

it get's acidic like car antifreeze does and rots the rad out ect exactly the same way

It looks annoying to service compared to the other Beckett burners

[@reese8752]

You know that any day the government is not screwing something up is probably a holiday.

[@jersal873]

My indirect water heater caused furnace relief valve to release. Guess hot water tank was shot. $3400 to replace!!!!

[@coreybabcock2025]

They make heat pumps that can work in almost 20 degree weather probably colder

I’m running B5 auto diesel in my shop heater. Hopefully no issues. When I fill the car, I bring extra cans with me when have $1 off fuel rewards.

Damn your part’s inventory must be busting out the doors on work truck

[@MrTurboturbine]

I love the big sch80 pipework.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

That's the same becket burner my new NYT BOILER came with. Direct vent out side wall. It was a pain in the ass the electronic controller had an out side temp sencer hooked to it. The dam thing filled the whole heat chamber plugged solider with rock hard soot. It was always going way out of setting ie. Air flow. Co2 carbon readings .. with in 2.5 years the fire box blow out. I contacted NYT an they shipped me a whole new boiler but with a relo burner direct vent. It been good for 3 years but I change the nozzle from the factory 1.00/60 to a 85/60. For one the 1.00 burns one gallon of feul per hour witch for my small place was way to much BTU'S and was firing was to short . Only thing I dont like about the burner is the heavy sqare aluminum cover that covers over the burner an allows it to pull air from out side. The 4 machine screws one on each corner have stripped the threads out of the burner frame. An you cant get a nut on the back side. An the 4 screws done come out of the cover to tap to next size bigger screw witch I think would just strip out again. Very poor aluminum grade. So every time I have to open it I have to put lock tight. The air sucksion keeps it on tight when unit running. I still have the old becket burner an boiler in my junk pile. As for the glycol you ether have to buy it direct in 45 gallon ❤ corrosion added. Or if you buy it from box stores in 5 gallon pails you have to buy an add the anti corrosion additive. I order a pellet of 4 barrels at a time direct for all my out door wood/coal hot water heaters. Many call them an out door boiler but there nothing on them that class as a boiler. There an open system no presser. An many that install them self put a cheap pump in the house that has to run 24/7 and they cant figger out way they system always air locked an having to replace the pump all the time. The pump must be installed out at the unit as they dont suck they need back presser an you need to run the taco pump that made to run 24/7 and the motor is replaceable. .

[@deanguando1335]

There is no way I would use that glycol. If I was going away for the winter I would drain the entire system and leave everything open.

[@dosgos]

For Glycol customers, you should schedule spring flushes & autumn fills. That system was crusty!

[@picklerix6162]

That makes sense but how much does the glycol cost per gallon?

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

Not cheap

[@joebal9044]

@@acrservicesmathewr7565 A 5 gallon bucket of 50% cyrotek cost me $137 in the fall 0f 2022. Back in 2019, when I last changed it, the cost was 70. I think this is called BuildBackBetter

Thumbs up steve!

[@repairrestoreresell2026]

That was supposed to be Becketts "Idiot Proof Burner", but it ended up being a finicky P.O.S. Knock on wood I haven't run into one for at least 8 years. They were right up there with Weil McLains Q Burner Disaster. Personally I would have gone back in with a 85/60B and leave a sleeping dog lay. I think you change those nozzles with a nozzle wrench. The socket within a socket type, but whatever gets it done. Best of Luck....................and hopefully you don't see another one soon!!

[@paulschmidt7473]

I think within 30 years, the idea of burning petroleum to heat spaces is likely to disappear anyway, it will simply get too expensive to run an oil fired boiler. Bio oils are just putting off the inevitable. They will likely put heat pumps back into these units in the future

[@bruceorourke5432]

Bio slime means lots of work! Customers are going to need lots of new filters. Welcome to Massachusetts, the blue state that is going to give you the bio fuel blues. The reason Massachusetts is a blue state is because everyone turns blue from the cold when their heat won't come on.

[@larryhatfield1588]

Biodiesel just might get all those nasty oil burners to switch to sweet planet friendly politically correct clean electric heat.

Couldn't you take a old bicycle pump and cut the hose off the end by the pump. And use that hose to drain out the tanks ? Might be eaiser to switch out and a lot lighter, lol.
