    Oil furnace has noe pressure
    I have a crown oil furnace with hot water baseboard heat. When it kicks on, it starts to warm up the closest baseboard, then stops. I pulled the pressure relief valve, and nothing comes out. How do I pressurize the system again. Or is that not my problem?

    For some reason your boiler is low on water pressure which usually means a leak. When was the last time your boiler was professionally serviced? Now could be a good time for that or you can try to add water to the system. Normal settings is 12 pounds but will depend upon height and system design.
