Hello All,
I'm having a nightmare with my Riello Oil Burner - pump. My own fault initially - I tipped the tank a bit as new oil wasn't coming for a few days - this caused the pump to fail - water and gunk into the system. Tiger Loop full of gunk too.
Replaced pump after 900 litre oil delivery and Tiger loop - ran perfectly for a few days - same symptoms returned. Checked for water in tank with Kulor Kut paste - 4 inches of water!! - Should have checked it before but had no signs as I had caused initial problem. 2nd Pump Failed.
Sucked out all water I could - down to less than 1 cm now.
New Tiger loop lots of gunk in it - cleaned it out in the Oil and put in an in-line filter.
My question is this: I seem to have to buy another Pump, yet it seems to run perfectly (I did take off the cover and clean it out and made sure cogs are spinning correctly) - very nervous now of another pump fail! Why are they failing so easilly? Can they be repaired? Running out of money for new pump, tiger loop, filters etc!
Any advice - greatly appreciated.
