Seniors here, on SS only after a lifetime of low basic wages, c@ 1k@month. Last time we went 1 1/2 years without heat, through NW winter. Then I called for help because I couldn't remember or understand how to fix it. This time, wife knew how to look up youtube. Last tech charged me $350 w/Senior discount. After 3:44 watching video and c@ minutes getting down to the basement & back AND maybe 60 seconds working with my 4" key-ring crescent wrench (I've carried it for 50 years) we have heat again. I'm losing memory but my dear, beautiful, wonderful lady, you, and a 4" crescent wrench means we are warming up right now. Getting old I may not understand things, but that shouldn't leave people to roll the seniors just because they can!

If you thin that leftover fuel with a little solvent of your choice it makes great "liquid wrench" and cutting fluid substitute. Keep it in an oil can. One of your best vids, mike! Very very useful!

I know this is an older post but I thought I would reach out to see if you might have an answer or maybe somebody reading this might. I have a Thermocouple pride Beckett Oil furnace. Because I have a lot of pets I’ve noticed that the filter gets filled very quickly. The last time this happened the oil delivery guy bled it for me but he also thought it could be the frozen clogged oil line. I’m wondering being that we’re not having very cold weather and I just had a filler put in with the recent oil fill so I know it’s not a frozen line. Is it possible That a clogged air filter could also cause in issue with the line such that it needs to be blood again? Since I cleaned out the filter and replaced it it’s still blowing cold air. The other question I have is how do I know if it’s the pilot light that went out?
