oil leak at tank

[@uberism81]

I like the way you guys talk to each other in the video. If you talked so honestly to the people in my area they would run into a closet and cry.

[@VinylToVideo]

Safe space seekers lol.

[@erikj.2066]

Next Level find! That pinhole eaten through the filter housing hopefully made a nice illustration for the customer of what's undoubtedly going on in the bottom of his old ass tank. Hopefully he keeps an eye out for tank leaks, or considers replacing it before it does.

[@Fireship1]

I like what that guy said, It's only oil....lol....then one day you come home and realize two or three hundred gallons of it are all over your basement! I wouldn't even want to THINK about what a mess that would be. The environmental concerns alone! Never saw a filter housing leak like that. Good catch Steve!

[@dotcomnsense]

and that guy wanted Steve to throw out the dirty absorbent pads cuz he didn't want the smell to get into the house, and didn't want to touch them himself because he didn't want the smell on his skin. yet, he's fine taking a chance on that old tank taking a shit and dumping what....200+ gallons of that smelly oil all over the floor?? that guy hahahaha!

[@MrPaul1f]

Great job Steve. lucky you brushed out the old filter housing as thoroughly, obviously the old gundge was partly sealing the pin hole.

[@weedandwine]

Happy holidays Steve and you all who read this. I'm here at the computer watching videos when there's a 2" meter I need to install this afternoon sitting out in my van....

[@christianbernoe4590]

too funny.i asked one of my customers last week ,do you have AD and or something. people are people, lots going on in most people. I still love the customers. Their just funny.

[@thordehr]

The muck that caused the corrosion and the leak was sealing it up most of the time...Nice find.

[@harrydickson4575]

Another great job Steve

[@copykon]

Steve told him his fancy laundry system was garbage and the customer got the problem right. You can't make this stuff up.

[@davidclark5138]

Great tech service video series Steve. Watching , over in the nutmeg love your chickens, and your great coop for them.

[@bradford216]

Good job. She was a leaker! I notice a lot of your customers have the fulflo filters. All mine do.

[@marleythechameleonandherbi2724]

What is the little circular tool you are using around what looks like a solenoid valve?

[@DanWillFixIt]

Rotation Tester and AC Detector for Circulating Pumps

[@bobt4949]

Yeah, you monitor it guy and when you got 250 gallons of oil on the floor don’t call me!

[@wmhvac-r2826]

customers always wanna blame a service man for there junk! good vid on fronting this guy out then the wanna go the cheap way out on repairs or replacement. makes me sick what we have to go through

[@aircooledtx]

That was a 'leaker'. Glad you found it. Good Job Steven. How's the chickens layin' many eggs??

[@Bob.W.]

So how do you get the water out of the tank? It could be all water below the tapping?

[@bryan1282]

Guys knows so much and has all the answers why can't he fix it?

[@jbouchard667]

what tool were you using at 23:43 to check the oil valve?

[@DanWillFixIt]

Rotation Tester and AC Detector for Circulating Pumps

[@RandallFlaggNY]

Steve, here's what you do: Cut the tank open and JB Weld everything. Then JB Weld the tank back together.

[@AMGMATIC]

Why do you wear gloves I could never figure it out.

[@tommytmt]

So that he doesn't have to wash his hands when he's done with a particularly dirty task, like changing a filter. That way when he's done he just takes off the old gloves and he has clean hands, or put's on a brand new pair...they're a dine a dozen. Actually less

[@VinylToVideo]

@@tommytmt Woosh.

[@VinylToVideo]

@@thatotherguy1 Woosh.

[@VinylToVideo]

@@thatotherguy1 No, it's the sound of an ongoing joke going over your head.

[@williamdyckman9704]

Nice work to find that leak! !

[@Joop5000]

Hey Steve, I run across a problem with a Beckett oil burner would fire up, but keep sputtering out, so i went in and checked pump pressure, nozzle, filters etc, but all checked out good, but still the problem. It urns out to be the tank apparatus, it's a Roth oil tank with the apparatus on the top of the tank that has a supply and return line setup. The oil over time softens the rubber tube that sits in the oil and when the burner runs, the suction collapses the tube, and the result is lock out and no heat. I replaced the apparatus with a duplex fitting and sent copper tubing in the tank and whoola, plenty of oil flow. Have you ever run into this problem?

[@ashrafgeorge8272]

You awesome Steven I just want you to put clear and step by step video for recharge freon at AC system. Thanks

[@justingonzalez6606]

Hell yeah next level fauset repair lovely lav next level mama

[@thordehr]

How about checking the screen in that beckett pump since that filter was so mucky?

[@petemoss9693]

Hey Steve - Thank God you found that leak -

[@mark351]

Is there a special purpose to that spring valve on the tank? I grew up with oil heat in NYC but all we had there was just a regular twist handle valve.

[@webbac8491]

Its a fire valve with a fusible link.

[@dennis-sj6im]

good find steve ... all general and spin-n--turds filters out here ... I've seen those leak out the nuts from the bottom ... keep up the videos and good work

[@sundown798]

Didn't know there was a spring f***ork..... need that. Also this house looks like a typical flip. The painter painted the rusty tank, walls and floors all the same color. All typical in this area.

[@davidsturm7964]

Speaking of energy efficient is 275 still the standard size, or is 220 going to be the new standard?

[@hannarye]

Hey Steve, you can adjust the contrast on that printer to darken the print. I had to do it with mine.

[@dburto13]

Nice Job, Great catch Steve! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

Dude seems to know a lot about whats leaking and why, so why did he call you? He needs to STFU and let the guy he called to fix it do his job. Glad I work in a school district and dont have to deal with the public.

[@russellwatson8145]

Why do you wear gloves ???

[@nathanw3464]

Last time I dealt with that it was a pin hole near the tank outlet. I swiped off the layers of baby powder or sweet air powder. And the flood gates openned. Lucky the customer had Bond tire tank insurance.

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Good find nice repair

[@noambetesh1]

i cant get my boiler to ignite. its a burnham oil fired tankless for heat and domestic hot water. any ideas?

[@emildekoven4872]

Diesel fuel filtres are prone to the same fault.....!

[@njdevfan20]

At least the tank is above ground.

[@grumpyone4115]

Your printer is probably a thermal printer which generates heat to do the printing on heat sensitive paper. If so, strong batteries are key to good printing.

[@cooperkallevig2990]

That guy had a lot of questions😂

[@cooperkallevig2990]

Ooohhhh he's a talker, he's a talker😂

[@bradhvac5866]

Put a little liquid metal on her lol that guy is crazy lol if he ever has that tank leak out all over he's going to be wishing he changed it lol good job Steve

[@KenKen-ui4ny]

That oil tank obviously seen it's days

[@p.thadeushornswoggler4987]

she's a leaker mama ! he's a talker mama !

[@georgesiatos9848]

great work!!

[@markanderson4794]

customer needs to let you do your job. If they know so much they should do it themselves

[@kestrel6245]

never seen one spray like that

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

"naw the fuckin..........." i nearly spit my food all over myself, i was laughing so hard, when i heard you say that, lol. i'm used to hearing you substitute flippin for the F word. i have no idea why that was so funny to me. great video Steve! made my night.

[@chowderchops]

In many cases or instances in life...saying something is fucked up, saves 3000 words. Sometimes just a simple statement that something is fucked up.....says it all. It has nothing to do with being vulgar.

[@scottk0623]

Liquid metal LMAO. The tank was installed by Moses but the guy wants to wait WTF. Sometimes you got to fire the customers. Rusted through filter today and rusted through tank tomorrow.

[@AndrewValkauskas]

Bill Burr does oil tanks?

[@mlke4258]

Steve, A few things. This is mostly useless info HaHa!! I have that same exact pair of channel locks as you. I'm a generator tech in the Boston area, and I have a nipple kit of various sized nipples for doing oil changes. I keep them channel locks with that kit. I also started that same ketogenic diet as you. I've lost just over 20lbs in a little over a month.. thanks for that.. Also, My outdoor tank tipped over after the guy filled it a few years back.. Insurance company spent about $230,000 on the cleanup.. They went after the oil guy for subrogation.. It was his second spill in as many months.. He ended up selling the company. Both instances were due to old tanks. What got him was that they argued that he should have not filled the tanks due to their condition, and he should have known better.. This went on for 5+yrs.. My spill is what sparked the code change for the Sleeved copper tubing.. You don't want the EPA in your life at all.. don't dick around with your oil tanks. If you even think for a second they are vulnerable.. Replace them!! A Roth installed is a few grand.. it's cheap insurance..

[@j.p.8304]

Use liquid metals, hysterical. Steve knock this guy out, I had enough.

[@RandallFlaggNY]

Cut the tank open, JB Weld the inside, then JB Weld the tank back together.

[@kimjong-un4411]

Steve, why is the pipe, which attaches to the tank, not welding into place? For example, prior to when a new tank is installed. Thanks

[@audreyhamel7604]

Are you charging the guy the entire filter even though you only used the bottom? Why not just replace the entire filter?

[@louiemontana4547]

[@QnQoooo]

B4 filter always leaks at the bottom. I always remove B4 filters out.

[@timbodtoolman7025]

That tank ain’t far behind going to be a shit show. Mama.

[@chowderchops]

Steve, your printer problems COULD just be a printer image paper problem. Just a suggestion. I had a similar problem with ,my HP printer. I bought printer ink and did all the troubleshooting stuff that HP said. It ended up being Windows uninstall reinstall and it worked. The print imaging paper has a certain time period. If this isn't good. At least I tried to help you

[@philfalz01]

good thing you don't have small o vision that house had to smell of fuel oil

[@skylimithd2653]

I think the guy should still have the tank replaced since it's so old but based on his conversation with Steve obviously he's a cheap bastard

[@VinylToVideo]

Customer sounds like a self-assured idiot. Would hate to be his kid or related to him.

[@PrimeHiFi]

What an annoying know-it-all... If he knew so much about why it was leaking, why did he call you in the first place?

[@noodlerooney]

Love your "Baby Dog" the licking machine LOLTime for a new tank I would sayOwner in denial lolBaby Dog Daddy knows this ...People are too funnyGet the checkbook ready lol

[@georgeleon7747]

The fucken breather is too close to the ground. Shitty original install of supply.

[@skylimithd2653]

what a waste of time! since the guy knew it was most likely the filter he could have went ahead and replaced it himself instead of calling Steve...but hey Steve got paid! lol

[@aaronbrown3573]

Annoying customer. Needs to use his ears not his mouth.

[@bpscottland74]

fun fact the ozone is actually starting to rebuild itself and will be back to normal by 2040
