I have a very dumb question - being totally new to Aga's - so please be kind!
We have recently bought a house/project. It came with an old Series 2 Aga (pre 1972 as far as I understand) that was converted at some point to oil - using the BM valve. We've had someone look at it, clean it out, and it seems to be burning fine.
Now we're not at the house at the moment. The Aga is (I believe) burbling away. The oil is currently low. What happens when the oil runs out. I assume the flame goes out, and you may get air locks, crap in the oil feed. OK I can understand that.
BUT I have ordered some more oil to be delivered. If this gets put in and then gravity does its thing and delivers oil to the BM valve then does it go onto the burner and floods the kitchen with oil it until someone manually turns the supply off???
Or is there some form of safety latch/lock-out mechanism?
