Hi Folks,
Disclaimer up front, I'd normally call in a professional for something like this but in the current climate DIY may be my only option. Our regular plumber, understandably, wont be calling to the house any time soon.
Our heating runs off of a Grant 50-70 + RDB2.2 at the back of the house. Theres a kerosene leak, very obvious with the smell of fuel plus the wet concrete around the base of the Grant unit.
I've inspected the burner, no obvious leakers there. Bone dry.
The flue end looks to be where the fuel is leaking. Going by the plastic staining in there the fuel leak is coming from further inside the unit. Is this a common fault and is it something I should attempt to fix?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/advice.
