understanding your oil tank system,and a Tiger Loop

[@dilemma2803]

this vid gave me the most hope for keeping my 25 yo furnace going

[@chucjai]

Sir there are teachers and there are educators...you are both...great explanation!

[@TestingAlaska]

excellent video! My replacement pump didn't come with the allen plug, so I had to rob the plug from my broken pump. Messed around with it for a long time until this confirmed what I needed to do. Thanks!

[@gerryboisvert4434]

thanks have 2 pipe sis. suspended installing tiger loop wondered about plug in pump ? great ready to go . oil feed off bottom of tank plugged . installed feed on top of tank .like you showed . installed check valve in tank .

[@jimmydripps4011]

Thanks Louis, that was clear and concise. You are a good educator. Keep the instructional videos coming.

[@33harmoni1]

Thanks! Oil company is installing as I watch this video. You have totally enlightened me!

[@olddave4833]

you do it that way(11:41) and your tank will rust out from the inside bottom as all the sludge and moisture will land there, best to draw oil from the bottom with the tank tilted towards to outlet pipe and don't let the garbage build up on the bottom. why have 6 inches of fuel laying in the botton, burn it all. very good video on the tiger loop. operation

[@rachelgay2297]

Video 11 years ago. Question why would my oil pump keep seizing when I get an oil delivery? Quarter of a tank left before delivery,Roth oil tank installed some years back, problems before getting tiger loop and now this. Thank you

[@slickdealer2099]

The bottom chamber of the Tigerloop is completely full, nothing in upper chamber. Is that normal operation?

[@pamelapotter6094]

Great video. Furnace company just recommended this. A great explanation of what it is and does. Thank you!

[@barbmiracle]

You're a really good teacher.

[@loudepot]

Wow, thank you!

[@sbeach9885]

Very helpful to know how the system works, thanks

[@ChrisGarceau]

Thank you very much! About to have a new line installed and your information was very helpful to how much I invest. Tiger loop it is..

[@emu314159]

Super clear, you should teach all the classes. I am not a handy person, but I got all that.

[@tonyd4244]

Very good video. Exact information I was looking for. Thank you!!

[@michaelmcgaughey5113]

I have a double line system, but when it freezes up, I have a hard time getting my prime back, can you use a tiger loop on a double line system?

[@jcstevegigs]

Great info! I changed a bottom valve once and I remember it had a stub 3/8" copper on it sticking up about 4". I think it did? It was years ago. I switched it to top feed with new tank. Have you seen that?

[@dave4854]

personally, I like the line that feeds the pump on the bottom with the tank tilted towards the pump so any water or sludge will be washed out of the tank to the filter canister all the time.. filters are not that expensive and doesn't take long to change.. tanks rust from the inside out and all the sludge and water laying in the bottom just shortens the life of the tank which are going up in price every yr.

[@ronemtae3468]

Does the tiger loop have to be placed above the oil burner and above the actual boiler obviously if it’s purging air it has to be above being any out

[@patcupolo9274]

Your good, question, were tiger loops invented by a service man because of all the problems of hanging GE boilers with becketts, from buried tanks in Levittown , Long Island, NY, . These were enough to make you pull your hair out, sludge pots supreme! Your good and concise, easy to grasp, needed you 35 years ago.

[@justtruth8310]

Good video, If I use the tiger loop where would I put my oil filter in conjunction with the TL?

[@patcupolo9274]

Off the bottom of the oil tank with a tiger loop ever saw it in 35 years in the field, good way to get extra money from the cust. , but what happens if the line off the bottom gets plugged with sludge, as you mentioned, tiger loop of no use. Just pipe off top, as you mentioned, with tiger loop, no air, no sludge and clean filters.. filter on bottom of tank might help pluggedlines, but not a plugged tank valve, which does happen.

[@Keegeth]

I would love this stuff if the techs always put an extra firomaticon the outlet side of the pump. how tf am I supposed to clean the pump filter of oil continues to shoot out...

[@toddtodane8180]

Please let us know the size plug needed for bypass. Thank you.

[@davebenz8271]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@ldr4278]

Excellent ! Thank you.

[@usaircomfort8210]

Thanks a lot. great video !!!!! Thumbs up

[@andreaschristodoulou4274]

Great tutorial ... but most of the plumbers /technicians won't do it. your a absolute right !! Mine one day the pump was stuck and the motor too., due to too much of grease and dirt came out the bottom of the tank. By the way don't tell me your from Greece ??

[@nickgruber2593]

Great video 💰🔥👀

[@alexphillips528]

What size is the plug that goes into the by pass ????

[@CakayaqOfBethel]

Love the video but I have a question. Where did you get the "bypass plug" from? I'm trying to install a tiger loop on my existing system.

[@rontan8954]

it comes with pump. it's 1/16 plug with 5/32 allen wrench.

[@waynejeffersjr87]

Great video, I install a lot of aboveground tanks. I’ve had a lot of customers complain about the “dripping” sound using a two pipe system with indoor tanks. Tiger Loops are effective but expensive, most aboveground tanks should not have air problems. Sludge takes a long time to build up in the bottom of a tank, if sludge becomes an issue it ma usually an indicator to replace your tank. ( most older tanks were designed for 30 years while newer tanks are designed for 10 years) What do you think? What’s the most cost efficient install: 2 pipe out of top, single pipe out of top with tiger loop or single pipe out of bottom?

[@nevedansari634]

Hi Lou thanks for all that info, Just one question if you can explain further, if the Tiger loop gets installed before the filter of Pump or after filter? Can you please clear that for me, I would appreciate it very much, Thanks Neved

[@johnmctaggart4932]

The filter should always be the first accessory after the oil tank with the exception of a shut off valve

[@timodonnell5111]

GREAT PRESENTATION very clear thanks Louis

[@Buddy-zz5kf]

So your saying you do not need / use filter with top feed systems? Didn't see you put a filter in the systems anywhere.

[@YukonHawk1]

Thanks for the great info

[@hero-zx3xq]

Very clear many thanks

[@Bobster986]

On your next video, place your light above and behind the camera so your lighting look even, not so many shadows. Thanks for your info.

[@11saxa]

these items are the best thing to add to your system. only get the "ultra" version with the 10 micron spin on filter. you will only call your oil repair once a year after that. no more clogged tips. the best money saver..........

[@rburns2548]

What happens if you have a little water in the tank bottom with the tiger loop

[@piperjack537]

on the duplex supply line should be 2" from bottom and the return should be submerged in the oil so as not to siphon oil back. 6" of space from oil about 50 gal oil. other than that great video.

[@rontan8954]

Hey Lou, Thanks for the video. However, I tried installing this Tigerloop S220 onto my oil furnace but are unsuccessful. I can't seem to draw any oil into the Tigerloop. 1. The By-Pass plug in inserted into the pump. 2. The Arc of copper wire is perfectly in accordance with the instruction. I am beginning to think that the Tigerloop I've purchased is defective since my oil furnace is working properly once I disconnect the Tigerloop and install original setup. Ron

[@eacars9356]

Or the lines are reversed. the arrows are hard to see

[@JuanHernandez-yl9dn]

Very well, but you forgot to say there have to installed a oil filter in the line supply between the oil tank and the tiger loop ...

[@carlosmorgan8123]

Sorry but the Oil feeder is not in the bottom, is in the back and in the bottom go the spin oil filter, in that tigerloop ULTRA.

[@Magnageek]

Great video, sir, very informative. And I love that Southern accent---Georgia perhaps?

[@dadduorp]

Sounds more east coast to me. Possible Boston/New Yawk.

[@jcstevegigs]

Why do I see the copper oil line in a loop near the tank? Both my houses have it?

[@alyssafabrizi6592]

can the suction tube in tank get a hole in it

[@travisoliver6349]

thanks

[@wiredmike983]

Hi, I need to bypass my oil tank, until I can replace it, and need to hook up another oil container, temporarily. Help please

[@loudepot]

Normal temps the oil burner runs fine. But when oil gets real cold it gets like a thick syrup and can't atomiz

[@richarddecker9515]

Try anti gel

[@michaellalanae7228]

Isn't a tiger loop just a recirculator ?

[@joshuaalmeida3404]

Good song like the beat

[@loudepot]

[@johnkrim8377]

That's not lead in the fireOmatic valve , it's soft solder , lead has too high of a melting point. 50 year retired plumber!

[@niloccoady]

Good man good man

[@vasillis]

3:42 "trying to get the air out to get air" I think he means air out to get oil

[@upcontryjunk]

You never want to run top feed off of the top of the tank, thairs a filters on the oil line for a reason to remove the sludge and stuff in the tank, all you're doing is breeding a tank full of sludge

[@cooganalaska3249]

It is wrong to say "there are two outlets on the tigerloop unit." There is one outlet and two inlets.

[@evilnick2885]

this guys got a gold chain AND a bitchin mustache? Im intrigued.

[@griffin6912]

2 line yepper

[@loudepot]

A gallon or 2 of kerosine will thin it out and you'll be fine

[@jeffreyrichardson]

michael brown and i installed vent and fill good guy twenty gauge and sigh

[@gameover1670]

hi

[@cooganalaska3249]

Constructive advice. The lighting is horrible for video. When you hold up the burner pump to show inlet and outlet, they are not visible in the poor lighting; the viewers can see nothing. Same problem when you hold up the tiger-loop unit; the poor lighting does not allow the viewer to discern the details.

[@georgewashington8652]

This guys a dope, people who say great video, are clueless.

[@zelfzuck]

thats BS

[@jasongreek4612]

This is NOT something that just anybody should attempt... In fact, if you're watching this video to learn how to install a tiger loop, you shouldn't attempt to install a tiger loop.

[@johngnipper1454]

You arent kidding there , ultra complicated....

[@osspillkits]

Don't use oil dri, oil pads or absorbents anymore, Take a look at Oil Solutions complete oil clean up. you can view a quick demo at www.cleaningupoil.com or call us at 917-887-9568,
