You know what Steve , you may not be the tallest guy on your street but you got the biggest heart ...you always take care of the older people and it will come back my friend

[@CranialAccess]

As a nurse in long term care I appreciate you watching out for the disabled, elderly and those who are not that well off financially. I am learning so much from your channel and appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience!

[@Fireship1]

Way to go Steve helping out your customer. You've made her warm and happy. The baby dog and Steve did their good deed for the day!

[@bradhvac5866]

Nice video Steve. Way to help out the lady. I always try and help the elderly.

[@Novisk58]

Very Nice Steve I'm sure you have a bunch of people that you take care of. God has a special place for someone like you. Not that your in a hurry LOL. Moneys nice but nothing gives you that feeling when you help others that's priceless

[@dalltex]

Nice job again Steve! You do have a huge heart and a wealth of knowledge. Your customers are lucky to have you taking care of them. Notice at around the 1:00 mark you kind of rolled through the stop and when you turned there was a cop in your rear view mirror. He' a fan of baby dog so no way were you getting a ticket!!

[@efman2k3]

You always take care of your customers. That's awesome of you. Thanks for posting!

[@frankc4360]

Steve God will always bless you for your kindness towards the elderly! Your AWESOME man!

Good guy. You called it. The pump. Love seeing you go through parts in the truck! Show more of that in new videos. Good eye on the burner tube gap.

Good call man, I was thinking motor. You're a decent guy to take care of her like that. I also love that you take your pup with ya on jobs. Rock on.

You're a great guy Steve! You know that a lot of HVAC guys would have given her the ole GUNDY! Either tried to bully her into a new boiler or hand her an $800 repair bill. I grew up with oil heat, still using it. Rural Pennsylvania, no natural gas here. Most use oil, some use electric heat, and occasionally large propane tanks in the back yard.

Good video, learned from this. Have a lot of respect for you on how you helped this lady.

[@kylebass4635]

Great job Steve. The ole Webster runs again. We did the same thing with our poor older customers also. When their oil tanks went bad we set them up with used ones we had in the yard instead of making them buy a new one.

You have every part on your truck you need. Thanks for the video.

wow, Hope she has the fire department on speed dial. Nothing holding that burner in place....Amazing!

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

god forbid anyone walks into or trips over that burner while it's running. it would probably fall out of the boiler and start a fire, it's so loose, lol. they would have a nice flame thrower skipping around on the basement floor. yikes Steve! she's running, lady's happy, good to go.

Those electrode settings look a bit off, Hey Steve you also forgot to double check pump pressure

[@brandonwoodford579]

Hey Steve, love your videos. I just had my oil burner serviced. It has a over head oil line back to the tank. After the service, any time the Damn thing is running. The oil line is making a vibration noise, almost as if there was air in the oil line. Its never done this ever before. If you put your hand on the oil line, you can feel it. Put your ear up to it, you can most deffenetly hear unsmooth flow.

[@potatolew4495]

Could be sucking air from an improperly seated filter housing.

[@andrewbankhead1979]

Holy cow batman that burner isnt even attached !!!

[@arnoldcustom]

just wondering, being I have done all my own oil burner work my self. that winning nose from pump, why didn't you take the presser line off and hook up a press gage to see if the presser was good? why I ask, so what if it make a winning nose, in my old mobile home forced air, 17 years ago the Becket burner was making same nose, I check the pump presser, it was good as new almost, I left it alone, and ran for 10 years like that, to this day, that down draft furnace still sits in it place, but about 10 years ago I was home and the furnace came on, and short time later, the furnace started rumble dancing in the wall, the smoke alarm went off, I left it running to see what was going on, took the panels off, the whole burn chamber was red hot, right up into the top heat exchanger, I was worried the ceiling of the mobile home would start fire up above, I shut it down, when it cooled off, I opened the inspection hole, put a light down in side the 3 inch hole, I could see the burn chamber at the back had burned right though to the back furnace outer wall of the chamber, letting in a ton more air, making it burn over rich, flooding the burn chamber. I took the fuel line off, took the burner out to see if I could get in there to weld a patch in, not possible, being I couldn't find a good replacement down draft unit, I bought a new NYT boiler. w/ direct vent. plumbed the place with pex pipe with water to water heat exchanger one in my shop mobile home electrics furnace, and one in the living mobile home furnace, added a circlet with a 110 volt thermostat in each one, so the fan would just come on when heat was called ,, this NYT WORKED GREAT FOR 3 years, then it stopped burning, the vent was always clean, I un-hooked the vent, took the top off the boiler, I had to brake the seal between the heat exchanger box that the vent hooked to,, in side that heavy steel box was plugged tight with black sut, on the boiler side was I think 16 steel tubes that run down though the water tank into the burn chamber, each tube had a twisted flat bar down each one, I had to clamp every bar and pull as hard as I could to get them out, that how tight they were plugged up. I gad a brush from when I repaired RV REFIGERATORS we had to clean the flu out on them, this brush fit well to clean out all 16 flu pipes 1-1/4. I cleaned out the huge pile of black crap from the burn box, I couldn't get a new seal for the heat exchanger, so a heating guy told me he just uses that furnace cement, I put it all back together and fired it up, 6 month later same thing, I cleaned it all out again, I called the furnace guy as I didn't have a smoke meter, he came and opened that 1/2" test hole in the adapter that connects to the vent, he tested it and told me all was good, the next winter it did it again, I took it all a part once again, cleaned it again. this time well the beckett oil burner I put a 100 watt light bulb though the hole. on the right side about 4 inchs up from the bottom of the burn chamber I could see a light gray area with a zig zag black line, I got my arm in there with a fine heavy wire brush, sucked it clean, put the light back in, I could now see a big crack about 5 inch's long and split into a Y, the center part of the Y was lifting out, I got my camera on just the right spot though the burner hole, and took some photos, I emailed them to NYT, with in an hour the manager called me, asked me to email my invoice to him, this was just over 5 years of buying it, he also asked me for the ser# and what burner was in it, I told him it had a beckett oil burner, I emailed him everything, he called me the next day, and told me he was shipping me a whole new boiler, he said this one is going to have RIEllO BF5 burner in it, I asked why being I bought this one with the beckett, he told me because there problems. I had the option of ether burner when I first bought the boiler, but because I had lots of Esperance with beckett that's what I ordered it with, I never seen a RIELLO BURNER IN MY LIFE, I fixed many becketts over the years, I got the new boiler and installed it, had to change the pluming a bit on the loop, that new burner is a pain to bleed, first you have to take this big aluminum cover off just o get to the bleed, you start it up, the motor runs for about 20 seconds then the pump kicks in but only runs for at most 3 to 4 seconds, and cuts out, from the fire eye not seeing fire, now there is this stupid cover plate that is really hard to get out, and even harder to get back in, you take this cover off and shine a light in the hole so the fire eye sees what it thinks is a fire and stays running until you get it bleed, now once the fire starts, it is burning crazy and if you do not get that stupid little cover on fast enough it goes out flooding the burn chamber, you know what happens next time you start it with flooded. The Beckett had a setting on it, that you could over ride the fire eye to bleed, this one do not, that I can find, but even the beckett stayed running a lot longer so you could bleed it most times with out the over ride, I ask you, is there any way to over ride this riello burner or set it to run longer, like 3 to 4 seconds is not long enough to do anything, never mind lift the fuel about 3 feet, if the tank is over 1/3rd full it has head presser .. well I am at it do you know how to convert these beckett burners over to a waste oil burner> I know I need to add an air line with 3 psi to the fuel tube and do something with the nosal, I want to stat experimenting with them, being one is only 5 years old, and the other one is many years old, but I replaced the control box, motor on it, and the pump still works

[@XLexieXBabyX]

I have that same setup, i know this is an older video but i was wondering how do i know the thing wont catch fire and burn my house to the ground, i was wondering how i can clean out my furnace if you have any pointers haha!! You seem like a true professional you know? I'd rather ask you then some jerk off in my neighborhood, thier all know it alls...

[@77bubba00]

Is this a common problem? I just installed a "new" fuel unit and it's making a pulsating noise. Bled the air out and it's still much louder than the last one. The old one was a Beckett and the new one is a Webster M34DK-3. A couple folks have told me that the Webster units tend to be noisy. Is this true?

[@potatolew4495]

Check your firings are tight and properly sealed, just because they are not leaking fuel does not mean they are not sucking air when in operation under negative pressure, have experienced this many times when someone installed something and the feed line was a bit cocked and did not seat properly on the flare fitting. As far as your feed being you much, you could plumb a 1"pipe to that pump,, it is only going to draw what it needs,no more. The only way your feed could be an issue is if there was a pre pump in line..FYI 27 years in the oil burner busniess. Cheers from L.B.I N.J.

[@77bubba00]

@@potatolew4495 thanks. I ended up changing the pump. The noise went away so I reinstalled the old pump just to see if maybe the fuel line connection to the pump was leaking. The noise returned. Put the new one back on and it was quiet again. It's possible the connection was bad each time, but it's quiet now so I'm happy. :)

[@CL-ty6wp]

@@77bubba00 Some pumps use a spinning blade in the pump to try and break up any debris that make it through tank filter. These type are loud. Newer ones use a strainer/filter.

I hope that burner never vibrates itself off the front of that boiler. You could secure with a couple of" L" brackets, it would take you five minutes.

[@kristindell267]

If not a third bracket, one on the top and two on the sides just to be safe.
