hi I'm Steven Qian Mullins and director
00:00:05.120 00:00:05.130 of solve and today I'm going to explain
00:00:06.650 00:00:06.660 it to you how to bleed an oil boiler and
00:00:09.290 00:00:09.300 typically you only find out that you're
00:00:12.890 00:00:12.900 you've ran out of oil once starred
00:00:14.600 00:00:14.610 boiler stops operating and the we read
00:00:17.150 00:00:17.160 lake comes on lockout you check your oil
00:00:19.460 00:00:19.470 tank you've discovered you've run out of
00:00:21.200 00:00:21.210 oil you phone your oil company they very
00:00:23.599 00:00:23.609 kindly come out the same day delivery
00:00:25.580 00:00:25.590 your oil you come home press the red
00:00:28.040 00:00:28.050 button and nothing happens it doesn't
00:00:29.900 00:00:29.910 work this would be typical of the boiler
00:00:32.720 00:00:32.730 needing blared annoying boy Dunedin bled
00:00:34.520 00:00:34.530 and key and this wouldn't be for the
00:00:36.860 00:00:36.870 faint-hearted and and you will
00:00:39.139 00:00:39.149 definitely need things like these rubber
00:00:41.209 00:00:41.219 gloves and make sure you've got plenty
00:00:42.889 00:00:42.899 arrives right here because it can be a
00:00:44.900 00:00:44.910 messy job if you get it wrong and I
00:00:47.389 00:00:47.399 would also advise not to do it and you
00:00:49.369 00:00:49.379 don't feel confident at all and doing it
00:00:51.350 00:00:51.360 so we would basically take this front
00:00:54.560 00:00:54.570 cover off here exposing the inner
00:00:59.029 00:00:59.039 workings of the burner using an allen
00:01:02.150 00:01:02.160 key you'll find this is a fuel pump here
00:01:04.640 00:01:04.650 and this is the bleed nipple coming up
00:01:06.920 00:01:06.930 through here using this allen key in
00:01:09.289 00:01:09.299 here we would turn the turn this through
00:01:13.370 00:01:13.380 you can sure you have a rag underneath
00:01:15.260 00:01:15.270 it here to vent the fuel pump
00:01:22.660 00:01:22.670 lise at the burner and what you shoot
00:01:25.730 00:01:25.740 harvest summer coming out here once the
00:01:27.800 00:01:27.810 solenoid opens you can see it starting
00:01:29.450 00:01:29.460 to bubble and put off here it may not
00:01:31.460 00:01:31.470 work the first time you may need to try
00:01:33.350 00:01:33.360 this a couple of times and do not under
00:01:35.990 00:01:36.000 any circumstances trailer to move that
00:01:38.020 00:01:38.030 bleed nipple altogether because either
00:01:40.400 00:01:40.410 way will become annoyed high high
00:01:42.290 00:01:42.300 pressure and would cause some damage and
00:01:44.990 00:01:45.000 ruin some nice clothes if you had them
00:01:46.910 00:01:46.920 so you can hear that starting the
00:01:49.160 00:01:49.170 trailer that the fire up still getting
00:01:51.800 00:01:51.810 air coming out the bottom but starting
00:01:54.170 00:01:54.180 to drip further here do we close this
00:01:57.950 00:01:57.960 off I'm going or should fire up alright
00:02:05.840 00:02:05.850 make sure you take not well clean up in
00:02:08.660 00:02:08.670 the oil it's been left and the boiler is
00:02:11.750 00:02:11.760 actually functioning away they're nice
00:02:13.580 00:02:13.590 over there so it's as simple as that if
00:02:15.530 00:02:15.540 you need any further information visit
