I put a new oil line in for someone a couple of years ago which, to cross a passage way, came from the tank at ground level, then up to 2 metres height to above the boiler (about 10 metres away), then down. Its always been a pain when working on the boiler as the old valve didnt hold it back (I should have fitted a new one), so Id end up bleeding it through with an open photocell (and torch) which worked fine, if fiddly.
Anyway, service it last week and since then Im about to go back for a 4th time as its locking out - oil not getting through. Yesterday I stuck a non return valve at the tank end but got 'the call' again this morning.
Should I be considering a deareator?
Boiler is a floor mounted 18th Century Myson Velair with the old orange Minor 1.
Note, when I do get the oil flowing through my pressure gauge and manifold, it reads a steady 9 bar.
Any advice before I go absolutely mad?
Off to the customer now......should be out on a family day, humph...
