Other than incorrectly stating the direction you're turning the shutoff, this is an excellent video. I wondered why my very vintage Coleman diesel furnace didn't have a bleed screw, but now I know -- duh, it's on the filter housing. Fortunately, the ol' gal is very forgiving and has never hesitated to start up after filter cartridge replacements and even after running out of fuel a couple of times, but from now on I'll be kind and bleed the line for her. BTW we should always say clockwise or counterclockwise from the perspective of above the nut or bolt we are turning, as if we are loo9king down on it. That might mean we say the opposite of the perspective from where we sit, but by following this convention, others will always know what is meant. In this video, we would close the shutoff valve by turning it clockwise -- as it would be if we could get under it and look down on it -- and we would open it by turning it counterclockwise -- again, saying this as if we were under the knob and looking down upon it. Thanks for an excellent but simple video. I was looking for something about swapping out my cracked filter housing for an automotive-style filter housing when I saw this. Glad I did.
@amck722 жыл бұрын
The guy in the video is correct when he said counter clockwise based on how he had to turn it from the position of the valve handle. The daily person looking for something to be simplified would be confused if they followed your instruction.
@David-lt1bu9 ай бұрын
@@amck72 MOST valves are in the upright position, so you would turn it clockwise to shut the valve off. His valve is upside down, which should of been explained correctly but it was never mentioned. If you try to tell me "well, its quite obvious" then why bother mentioning how to shut the valve?? Also, he didn't mentioned to clean the underside of the top portion of the filter housing, especially that much sludge it tends to caked all around the whole inside of the unit, not just the bottom portion. Great video, a couple "important" factors that should of been mentioned.

Bought my house earlier this year. Had never dealt with maintaining a fuel oil furnace before. Wanted to make sure I had a new nozzle and filter. Found one video for the nozzle and did it. Found this for the filter and it was pretty much how I expected, but watching it be done, with a nice explanation helped clear my head to do it. Thanks.

Those fire safety shut off valves usually stick once the handle becomes loose about four or five turns I usually push up on them to make sure the stem pops in their spring loaded the handle is fused with lead to the threads so if there's a fire it's supposed to shut, just an FYI for anybody having trouble with that. It wasn't mentioned.

The filter won't ever clog from a dirty housing, so long as it's changed every year. Lots of guys don't bother to clean the housing, since there's ten times as much of the same gunk at the bottom of your oil tank that you can't ever get to.. I sometimes do clean them but it really doesn't matter, so long as the inner cartridge shaft is clean.

I would recommend anyone watching this video follow any steps shown with the exception of the filter direction. The new filter is installed upside down in the video and will cause you nothing but issues as the filter won't actually filter anything if installed this way. Note the direction of the screen when the old filter is taken out vs the screen facing down when reinstalled. No good.
@jamesleitman34554 жыл бұрын
The filter is the same on both sides. The extended screen on one end that you see with the old filter occured after the filter was drawn up inside the top with the bolt, the filter gets pushed down but not the screen, extending the screen.
@justforever964 жыл бұрын
What are you talking about? The filter is symmetrical on either end. The oil is drawn from the outside of the housing inwards through the filter element, and then drawn up from the center and out into the fuel line. As long as the ends are properly closed, it makes no difference which way it is facing. You're giving advice based on something you assumed from some "clue" you saw in the video? This is why internet advice is dangerous. At least in this case no one is going to blow themselves up listening to you, but they'll sure be baffled and confused trying to figure out which way is the "right" way up when it looks exactly the same on both ends. Because it is the same.
@andrewbentley11363 жыл бұрын
I was confused by this as well as every filter I have seen has the screen exposed at one end. This one seems to be symmetrical as stated below and the filter is just pushed down which IDK where they got it from. When tightening mine I could feel that even on the ones with the screen exposed facing up the filter is compressed.

My oil tank is in the basement, and the furnace is on the first floor. In addition to the valve between the tank and the filter cup, there's one right at the furnace. Should that one also be closed to keep oil in the fuel line from draining back to the filter cup? And besides bleeding out air at the filter cup (the ¼" bolt), will I need to bleed the line at the burnerwith or without closing the upstairs valve (the one at the burner)?

Sometimes you can tap on the stem and you can free it up or get it to seat.

If the furnace doesn't run while you are changing the filter you should be ok with just bleeding the air out of the filter cartridge. If you forgot to turn of the furnace switch and it runs it will use oil in the line and draw in some air. If that were to happen you will need to bleed the line out by using the bleeder on the burner.

I put some tubing on there and fired the boiler up with the valve cracked about 1/4 turn. When the air cleared I closed the valve. There are some videos that demonstrate that specific step although this one is the best I've found for changing the filter.

Clockwise and counter clockwise are reversed. 220, 221 whatever it takes.

Which filter is that?

How often should the filter be replaced?

I would replace it every year just before the heating season starts. If you have an older oil tank you may want to replace halfway though the heating season for optimum performance and to ensure it doesn't become clogged.
