If I knew you were haveing this trouble I may have been able to help you out with it. Even if the chamber was soaked with oil you probably could have saved it but once it was removed you are pretty much screwed. The first guy probably kept hitting the reset, thats the main culprit with an oil soaked chamber. If your still stuck let me know myself and my buddy that I went to school lives close by but not till after Xmas. Good Luck!

I have one Tony.....ya still have to know the stuff to pass....they don't hand them out...if they did the "Clotpot" (Thanks Numby) would have had one that showed up first!

Is there any way you can go after the first guy, the "plumber", and get some $$ from them for the damage he caused?

Hopefully everything will work out fine in the end.

Merry Christmas!

To be honest with you FT...I have thought about it....and decided it will be more of a headache and a pain in the a$$...my a$$...and I will never see a dime so.....screw it! Chalking it up to lesson learned!

Sorry Tony if my last post sounded rude? I did not mean it to be! I am wound pretty tight right now! Thanks for the offer....I do appreciate it. I have a oil burner license...but I did tank replacements and installs so my first hand knowledge and hands on beyond the firomatic valve at the burner pump was very limited. So I bow to those who do it for a living......I just picked a bad apple to start with!

Be careful you do not hit the little red button too many times Peter......you will shoot too much oil in the chamber if you do....and wind up like me! Flyfishing??? You would sonner catch me with a.....oh never mind!

When I lived on Long Island, and had an oil fired boiler, we not only had at least a dozen heating oil companies to choose from, but because there was so much competition, every one included a service contract. You locked into a 5 year deal, they included free repair service. It never took more than an hour for the service guy to respond and fix anything that went wrong. Don't oil companies around here do the same (we have gas here)?

When my ex needed a complete new system, the oil company financed it with an interest-free loan if she agreed to a 5 year contract.
