Waste Motor Oil / Re: Cleaned the furnace today

Hey Russ- did u have build up on the back of the chamber like last time?? How many gallons of oil did it take to get your build up?
When i was playing with my burner last winter, i was getting build up on the back. It would grow out about 2-3 inches. it took about 15gallons to get it there. I bought an eco-nozzle and put it on my new tip and absolutley no build up. I have run about 75 gallons through it and i havn't had to clean it at all. It seems to start a tad better too. I have general ash and soot in the whole chamber, but no growth off the wall towards the nozzle. oil temp is 225, pressure is 130, .75 80degree tip. I also am trying a 90degree tip now and i'm having better starting with it, and seems like its lasting longer!

It burned off the wire going directly into the cartridge heater. It almost looks like it just shorted out against the stainless outer sleeve. I might not of seen how close it was when i originally installed it.
