| Thanks guys..The house was previously a rental property with an owner as tight as tick and so the house and furnace were poorly maintained. Last week the nozzle was replaced for the first time in at least 8 years because I was ignorant about oil burners. I've only recently heard of turning the boiler off for an oil delivery and even more recently for how long. The drip was caused by bad atomization of the heating oil and this was corrected by the nozzle replacement and electrode adjustment performed by technician number two. As for the water pressure problems, I adjusted the water pressure myself after my helpful neighbor who previously did it hesitated in returning for two whole days to do it again. This last technician was from a different oil company and yet he did the same to me as the previous techi. The water pressure shot up to 30 psi in just 2 hours after he left. Pat me on the back -I fixed it myself after freezing for two days. The water feeder as I have discovered needs to be just to the right of the perpendicular, not all the way down and horizontal; and the water delivery valve needs to be open just a trickle and not wide arse open as he left it. Makes me wonder if modern water feeders are made to work with full water pressure; otherwise what they did looks very suspicious. I also wonder what they teach them in school and business nowadays. Caveat emptor (buyer beware) as the Romans used to say. The market place is full of tricks. I'm not cute anymore; I work and I pay the bills. My student discount expired ten years ago. I now have gray hair and wrinkles. Just keeping my eyes open and it sure is tiring to be hypervigilant. Many thanks to people who tried to help although the various diagnosese were way different than the actual fix in this case. Hago Nozzle internet literature was helpful to me when I needed to understand that comprimized oil spray from the nozzle can create a heating oil back drip. Why can't more people be as educational as I am? My neighbor told me I now sound fat and happy. Well HE certainly is anyway.. Wooh, Gawd Lawd! MMMMMM...Yes indeed! Does this read like fat and happy? Well I guess I am in a way. Thanks Again.. PEACE! ZORO |
