Waste Motor Oil / Re: Oil not igniting
« on: February 14, 2017, 07:08:15 pm »
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.

Waste oil does not need continuous spark. The latest primary controls on commercial waste oil heaters actually turn off the ignitor when cad cell sees flame.

Sounds like you are sucking air.

That heater had like a 77" long firebox. I think a better option would be a Shenandoah B5 burner with J-pump. That way you could dial in the flame perfect for your size firebox.

They epoxy the heating element into the preheat block forcing you to buy the entire assembly. What size heater did the burner/pump come off of ? With that short firebox you might over fire big time since that is a metered pump.

Sparkles could be a variety of things. Water/anti-freeze will usually throw out big sparkles. Smaller ones could be lean from to much compressed air/combustion air or not enough oil. Also make sure both heating elements are working good.

Air 12-14 psi ?

What color is the flame ? Should be bright yellow with orange tips.

Waste Motor Oil / Re: synthetic mix 50/50?

Hydraulic oil will not help. You are going to have to mix it since there is no way to adjust preheat temp on a EnergyLogic.

The Clean Burn is a far superior unit. The EL is just an open barrel firebox where as the CB has an actual heat exchanger with much greater surface area. When means you will have more heat per gallon with the CB warming you instead of the outside through the stack. Burner designs are night/day different. The CB burner was built from the ground up for waste oil where as the EL is a butchered up Beckett housing with the preheat block hanging out in the breeze far away from the nozzle. CB has 2 stainless steel washable filters instead of 1 expensive spin on filter for the EL.

EL warranty is better ?
We have tanks made locally to our specs for less than mfg tanks.
CB has Summer promotions running right now with options like, free stovepipe, free on-board air, financing options, cash discount.

I have been doing nothing but waste oil heaters sales AND service for 25 years and know every brand inside and out.

Fuel Oil Furnaces / Re: Energylogic won't shut off

They can be found for under $100 but Honeywell quality has gone downhill the past few years and I would stay away from the ICM. I would go with the Carlin.

Did you try removing the thermostat wires from the primary control ? If you remove the wires and it quits then I would suspect a wiring issue. If it stays running with the wires removed then I would say primary control.

Waste Motor Oil / Re: Firelake 315 leak?

I just wanted to make sure you were not high on the burner end.

The main thing in doing a burner rebuild is cleaning the preheat block. Make it shiny on the inside and I always replace the 3 o-rings each time. The nozzle holder has 2 and 1 for the oil solenoid.

I assume the heater is mounted level ? When is the last time you did a burner rebuild?

When the burner shuts off air is suppose to purge the nozzle. That is what that little airbox under the wiring block is for. Do you hear the air purge after it shuts off ?
