Discuss Oil Smell from Warmflow, Whitebird 70/90 Boiler in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Thanks for the three replies from Best, Gazzt and Last Plumber.
The burner is an R.B.L model RDB1 70 -90
The copper pipe comes under ground from the tank, I presume it is sleeved all the way, it is at the start.
It comes up out of the ground and then through the wall of the house and, fortunately, is above the floor all the way to the boiler. Unfortunately the gap between the wall and the boiler means I can't reach the pipe all the way to the point of entry but there are no unions, the pipe appears dry and is dry as far as I can reach.
The fire valve is outside of the house.
I shall make sure the engineer checks all the items you mention.
Thanks, Peter
I love the smell of Kerosine.
It is like aftershave on me.
I can barely detect Kerosine smell unless strong or in a confined space, especially my van if any oil rags are left overnight. Serious in a heated room though
I love the smell too though since when you are not allowed anymore to solder the pipes for oil? I believe we can still solder in Germany. So you are using instead compression ?I love the smell of Kerosine.

Thought it was flared fittings on oil, could be wrong or is that old hat now.I love the smell too though since when you are not allowed anymore to solder the pipes for oil? I believe we can still solder in Germany. So you are using instead compression ?
