Kevinmc Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Help please,For reason I won't go in to, I managed to let the heating system run to exhaustion and my fuel tank is empty.I'll be at the house for Easter and (hopefully) the tank will now contain oil. When this happened to me once in the UK, I had to 'prime' the boiler. I'll probably have to do the same 'en France'. But how?The BIG red box might be an 'OTTE' or a 'hofamat' (I've paperwork for both)and it has a yellow box bolted on low down which is an 'Ideal Standard MI 4'.I've bundles od low res photos for anyone who wants to see.Suggestions invited. I have a chauffage guy who'll pop in, but not until we've been there a week and I don't fancy a week without a shower.RegardsKevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazan Posted April 14, 2003 Share Posted April 14, 2003 French systems in good working order are normally self-priming so you shouldn't have to do anything. You may need to push the reset button on the burner once or twice if it cuts out waiting for the oil to arrrive.Whatever you do don't try and start the boiler until at least 4 hours after the tank has been refilled as this will give time for the muck to settle.
