Hello all,
last week we got a fill of kerosene as we had run out of oil for boiler. Ever since then we are getting a very strong smell of oil from boiler, as if the burner is not completely burning fuel. I replaced the nozzel as the last one was very black and sooty looking, however this has not helped. The boiler is starting up and works fine other than this strong fuel smell.
There is no smoke from the flue only hot fumes as is normal.
Does anyone have any solutions to the problem.
(I only hope that the oil delivery man has not given us any gas oil with delivery, sometimes I think that the delivery people do not fully flush out their delivery hose after delivering diesel before a kerosene delivery. I have checked the tank and it looks and smells like kerosene, but its hard
to tell.)
Hope someone can advise
Thanks
