Diesel Space Heater, fault finding and repair + some auction finds

Here we looking into a iarge (43kW) diiesel fired space heater. It arrived dismantled and without any information why it has been taken apart.
It's basically a standard Riello oil burner, just firing into a big cone.
The only modification to the standard oil burner is a little circuit which keeps the motor running for a while after the burner has shut down. Seems that's just for cooling down the hot parts of the burn chamber.
Apparently some electrical "expert" had his fingers on the wiring, probably trying to find whats wrong with it. I think the main fault was the oil supply issue as outlined in the video, the control relay was probably damaged by the wizzard while messing around.
