Very true to all! I have been Servicing/repairing Oil appliances for over twenty years and I am still learning! As for the tools of the trade, some of the tools I have are now approaching 60 years old, from my father! Again I have acquired tools of my own to suit my needs. With regards to joints, I use compression with snug-fit inserts and heldite. I occasionally do flare joints if room permits, but my father swore by them, he even has an imperial and metric flaring tool sets. Best wishes from Arbroath. Have a good weekend.
Brilliant video rob very interesting, it's great to see what tools you use in your trade 👌 definitely a good video for a new starter lots of good information welldone 👏
Have been thinking about this, can't get hold of a Oil Boiler Tech in our area but people do seem to be moving over to ASHP - maybe soon they will realise error of thier ways!
Def get into it mate. ASHP are ok for some stuff ie new build but apart from that not a fan! As for you last comment. £180 a bit rich mate. and 3-4 a day. Services are bread and butter to survive, Breakdowns brings you the comfort in life. Have a good week Rob
Looking to train as oil technician, my question is with new installs being stopped after 2026 and oil boilers ending 2035 is there enough work out there or is it all slowing down?? Cheers Phil
Hi. Sorry for delay. New build only no oil from 2026 and 2035 to stop fitting boilers but no ban onanything else so go for it!. Have a good week mate and thanks for the comment.
Hi guys great content. If my oil boiler burner has been replaced to a different type. so nozzles different stated from original manufacturer’s instructions where would the person have got the info to do that boiler manufacturer or burner manufacturer.
Thanks for the comment. If the burner fitted is not the original the new burner should be set to the boiler. What ever diff make of burner is fitted it does not matter the make of it. it is the ouput that matters and you get that from firstly the boiler spec but if not poss then only the burner man as per instructions and as per the Kw output required.
Thanks for the reply. It a pre2003 Non-condensing Euroflame Grants Boiler 50-70. the original riello G5BF burner 0.60-0.60 S nozzle going by the instructions. but now it’s been replaced with riello RDB2.2 VORT 21 744T1K Oil Burner 0.60-0.80 EH nozzle As there is no documentation about it being swapped and the old data badge is to far faded. I could only make out /70 and below .60/0.60 S. so if a engineer should just change the nozzle back original size spec and set per original boiler manufacturer specifications
Thanks mate. I use both. Compression with inserts alot of the time as i find flared can be bulky but if plenty of room i will flare. i dont flare old pipe as it normally splits unless your lucky. If you want totally piece of mind on a joint then if poss use flared mate.Hope this helps. Have a good weekend. Rob
Is it common for Grant boilers to have a smell of oil from the POCs at flue when burning. Is that pump pressure thing. Havent been yet, but thats my thinking😂
Hi. Thanks for the comment. No oil boilers do not smell and i am sorry not sure what you mean by poc . Pleas explain this message better so i can help. Rob
@@Purebeltersteve I thought it was but you wont smell oil ever from flue when running it will be poor combustion. A smell of oil can happen inside the boiler from running if a pump weeps or oil line is vaping. It just never made sense to me as i was half asleep! It just needs setting up correctly ie correct nozzle , pump pressure and co2 then all good.

Contacted grants they gave me updated version of the boiler with the burner they said go by that.
Nice video, do you use compression on you oil line or do you flare?
Thanks mate. I use both. Compression with inserts alot of the time as i find flared can be bulky but if plenty of room i will flare. i dont flare old pipe as it normally splits unless your lucky.

I have a Grant, no there shouldn't be any smell. No being an oil tech what's a 'POC'?
