I remember yours, and had a similar one posted back in winter- Feb? I have circulating hot water, oil fired, one underground tank, another 500 gallons stored in the garage... unheatd garage just like the ground is unheated.... a new oil dealer who checked the burner, tanks... everything he could think of. Brought a 15% mix of kerosene, as he does to his customers with outdoor tanks. On Sept 12 we turned on the burner switch for the season, clean quiet steady burn every time- till.... On Oct 12 it got down to 25 gegrees out there... the top of the tank is atleast a foot deep.... the same skip 12 seconds in as it did early last year. The horror show was the deepest part of winter- when the skip would blow the stovepipe off the wall. Moral of the story is just ditch oil heat. Got to do something else next year- got 900 gallons? $2700? 3000? worth of something that got to get used up right? Or invent something really sad, like a small tank inside the house, and warmed with an electric heater... that will preheat a day's worth of fuel before it gets to the burner... like a battleship? Or the Canadian Pacific Railway? Just what I had in mind for a winter project... makes the stinkin hot days of mid summer look good again. Your forced air oil is the worst of all, keep us up to date- and good luck.
