Oil not igniting
«

I thought I had contaminated oil at first because I could not ignite it, but now I'm beginning to think my 30609-5 nozzle is partially clogged. If I remove the nozzle, I can ignite the oil. If I spray compressed air through the nozzle and clean it, it will ignite for 30 seconds and then clog up again.
Is it possible my nozzle went bad? Is this common?
I have a CleanBurn 2800 if that matters.

Has anyone had contaminated oil with water?
Did diesel water removal additives fix it?

Water goes to the bottom of tank so it can be easily drained. Your pickup screen should be at least a couple of inches off the bottom.
The nozzle comes apart and there is 3 pieces. Hold it upright with a pair of pliers on the stem and unscrew the top with your 5/8". Spray out the 3 pieces with brake clean onto a paper towel to see if anything comes out. If black carbon pieces come out you need to do a burner rebuild. Clean burn recommends burner rebuilds every year and I say every 2-3 years is good as long as the power is turned off in the Summer.
