Bleeding an Oil Burner

[@haredywaled]

Thank you sir . Watching your video fixed mine . I’ve never touched anything related to that . Around 11:00 pm my wife told me it’s cold in the house . Than she went to sleep . I turn the hot water to wash up before going to bed . I noticed only cold freezing water ! No hot water . So I went downstairs to see if we have any oil in the tank ! What I found is absolutely no oil ! Tank is dry empty! I woke the wife to order oil . She did online but it would take 2 - 3 days for them to come ! After online searching I learned I can put some diesel 5 gallons or so and it should let us go by for a few days . Drove up to gas station and brought 10 gallons of diesel. Por it into the tank & it won’t fire up ! Search online and found your video . Fallowing your steps and I start bleeding it until I got normal flow of oil than the miracle happened. Thanks to you man we’re back in business . Best regards to you stay safe and keep the good work . God bless you 😀😀😅

Thank you SOOOOOO much Freddie! You enabled me to get my heating restored at a time I wouldn't have a chance in hell of getting a technician out! I really appreciate you putting in the time to make this video - thank you so much! :-)

[@timtracey7410]

Yes it worked!! Thanks! I've no idea where to get one of those bleed valves - yet - but a piece of hose pipe was enough to prevent me from redecorating the downstairs loo. The technical info and step by step procedure made sense and explained the whole thing brilliantly.

Freddie Bently absolute gentleman

[@sllpvre3487]

Legend! Should add the name of the bleeding tool in the description and get commisioned on sales! :)

[@EvtheNev]

Thanks a million. Was able to bleed my own boiler thanks to this.

I don't have that special bleeding device, but the process I followed successfully was outlined by Freddie in this video. Before, I was using the "return" instead of the "bleed". It is helpful to see a comparison of different types of equipment, and a summary of what they basically do. It is daunting how much variety of equipment is "in the field", and calling a service man out for a simple bleed is very expensive. It is also interesting to see the water and the bacteria in the jar of oil. We live close to the sea and are known for our harsh weather, so I am sure our oil tank is filling up with water... on the bottom!

Thanks Freddie! Saved from a house that has been iglooo-like for the last three days! Am offf to order a Boiler Bleeder right now in case of any future issues :)

[@leighmartin111]

Thank you so much - I followed your guidance and my heating is work again. Air in the pump, drained it twice till the fuel poured out solid and then it fired up. :)

[@yonny5314]

Thank you very much, your guidance helped me sort out my burner in minutes.

[@hamcgarry]

Device used isn't needed. Great video thanks

[@grahamsmith8122]

I was enjoying that insight. Dont forget to turn the fuel back on Fred! (slight of hand) Hows life treating you Fred? Smiffy, Safe and Sound.

[@jamesdevlin6373]

Thanks for your help. Got it going again.

[@TheTundercat222]

Thank you sir got my firebird oil burner going thanks for the video

[@03056932]

other sources saying the Allen key grub screw on the left side is the correct one for bleeding. here he's using the pressure valve with an extra adapter ?!

[@samfox714]

helped me fix my system thanks!

[@smash72cutlass30]

Can't believe Anthony Hopkins is now a heater guy. Clarice

[@kevinscobie1015]

after the burner vid he will be having an old friend for dinner. With a fine Ci ante

[@p.macdermott2490]

Good informative video. However I was disappointed that you didn't show us how to check and adjust the oil pressure when you had the guage attached. I accidently moved the pressure adjuster, thinking it was the air bleed valve. I turned it back to what I think was the original position but I need to be more accurate

[@grahamsmith8122]

He used to drive a Black Cab! Proper geeza is Fred.

[@kevinscobie1015]

Thanks . The tech info was very helpful.

[@deanfeeney3605]

Great video 👍🏻

[@MegaMk1escort]

Thanks for your help got it going again 😎 Do you know that you sound like Brick Top from The film Snatch.

[@UK00890]

God bless you Mr Boiler man, it fixed mine :-)

[@Ratman_Bejo]

hello sir greetings I am a Burner player from Indonesia

[@MegaSteve1957]

Cheers Mate.

[@bribri6365]

A small dish under the bleed valve to catch the oil and a rag under that will catch any stray drops.

[@Andy-Robus]

aw you said you were gonna show us the gloves later on and you didnt LOL :D we moved into a house last December with an outdoor Tigerloop device - brilliant device. No more problem with bleeding when the tank runs dry. Do they also seperate water from the oil as well or is there another device for that?

[@buffplums]

Very useful and thank you for sharing

[@phoboss1337]

Saved my day.. you are tage man

[@adekunlefowora6383]

Thank you for the video appreciate it.

[@irishhombre]

good vid, sorted out my problem.....didnt need the device.....you can just bleed it into a cup from the valve..

[@francarl7070]

Any advice on a Bentone B 10 E oil burner. Is it Kerosene or gas oil or both?

[@geew1621]

thanks worcester boiler fired up again after 6 month empty kerosene tank.. gravity bleed wasnt doing it... turning pump on was the trick until all the air was out then she roared again!!

[@markas54]

brilliant, got it working in about 10 minutes, but my hands got very dirty :-(

[@mayocyclist1266]

I have rung the screw on the bleed valve..... what do i do now?

[@6torp3]

Hope you can reply to my query when boiler runs to heat system and cuts out after 15 mins and locks out is it always the salanoid that is responsible please

[@polskatokrolestwoanty-brit4484]

hi mayby you can show how regulate the air ? i have the same RDB in my house but drink to much carrosine..can you tell me how can i regulate air ? from 1 to 8 ? with one is best ? thanks

[@marcgallagher3324]

Is BoilerBleed still on the market? I can't seem to find a stockist in Ireland.

[@MyREDTAIL]

Where can I buy that univ Bleeder valve in the USA.?

[@FreemenofAustralia]

So when no fule comes out of the bleed nipple, what next

[@vikinj]

Haha 13:07 was so funny, like being caught haha gr8 vid

[@irishhombre]

a few F's and B's and the word "Nemesis" there and it would sound like Brick Top from Snatch giving the talk...lol..:)

[@robertthomasadair]

with all due respect why take the time to make an apparently helpful video and then use tools / gadgets that very few people watching this video would have to hand. People watching this video simply want to know how to do a basic bleed to get their heating back on not watch you demonstrate a set of gadgets

[@sambutler927]

Robert Adair this isn’t aimed at joe bloggs it’s for technicians. You have no competency to touch an oil heating appliance so you should call the professionals
