hey YouTube how you guys doing today
Kevin here coming at you with another
video today we're gonna be talking about
an oil burner yep an oil burner alright
not quite what we do on a show but we do
videos like how to tie ties and stuff
like that so I figured this would here
be a big help for you guys I know a lot
of you guys run out of oil in the middle
of the night and well it's expensive to
have the oil guy come to your house and
bleed one of these things out well
coincidentally I am an oil guy and I'm
gonna show you how to do it or ready you
how to do it so what you're gonna need
to do this okay is real simple just a
couple of simple tools nothing dramatic
just a couple simple tools a 3/8 wrench
an old soda bottle and a little piece of
hose sometimes if your furnace is up
this high like off the ground you can
just use the sort of bottle and stick it
right on there so let me show you what
this is that right there is the bleeder
screw right there okay so what you're
gonna do is you're gonna take your 3/8
wrench stick it on the on the fitting
which is a bleeder take the hose pop
your hose on here and then the other end
of the hose into a soda bottle now I
want to talk to you guys a couple of
things first a lot of you guys run out
of fuel in the middle of the night and I
just want you guys to know that you guys
can go to the gas station and get 5 or
10 gallons worth of diesel fuel and put
it in your tank it's the same stuff a
couple of things are going to want to
make sure first if your furnace goes out
you got to make sure a couple things
first
on every furnace you will have one of
these red burner switches has to be on
is normally one on the side of the
furnace and one at the top of the stairs
or at the entrance of the house so
there's always two of these in the house
and you want to make sure your batteries
are good in your um your thermostat or
your thermostat is on so you want to
turn your thermostat all
way up to 80 so it calling for the
burner to kick on okay
so right now we have the furnace turned
on upstairs we got it cranked up to 80
we got the burner on we are ready to
believe this thing so you'll see the by
the button up here flashing okay we have
not pressed it yet the burner just went
out we put diesel fuel in the tank and
now what we're gonna do is we're gonna
pleat it well humiliating me I just need
you to hold this sword ball over here
down a little wallah
we're gonna put the got my assistance
because they don't have my tripod with
me alright so we got that in there so
the host is connected to the bleeder and
into the hose bleed is cracked loose I'm
going to then push the button once crack
the bleeder free now you get fresh fuel
when you get fuel
close it
and then awake
[Music]
you got a flame it's going to go out the
second or normally if there's air in the
line
green light is on and it's good to go
now this is not normal to happen right
off the bat but this was already set
typically you're going to have to do
this two or three times you get the
crack open the bleeder or we'll go out
this cycle off I don't know
don't post things gonna stay on if it
goes out again you're going to have to
then crack open the bleeder and push the
button if you push this button more than
3 times 1 3 times you're gonna have to
hold it in for a whole minute this light
will flicker back and forth it will turn
yellow up here they'll go back and forth
and now when you take your hand off
it'll reset and then you'll be able to
push it 3 more times so if you like
click bleed click bleed click bleed and
then it will timeout
real easy so that's your bleeder crack
it loose push your button the fuel comes
out close the bleeder if you do it three
times it will time out when it times out
what it times out you can ever count at
all when it times out we're going when
it times out then you got to hold it in
there but for one minute and these
lights are here will flicker back and
forth if you don't have this newer style
system and you have the old box you're
gonna push the big red button down and
if you a little black button you're
gonna trip that and it'll you'll hear it
click and then you can let off of it and
then it'll be all good to go again real
simple to do and that is how you bleed a
oil burner the other thing you can use
diesel fuel in this so say you normally
run kerosene and your furnace because
it's out vo your tank is outside you can
put diesel in it if you have a monitor
heater you cannot use diesel fuel you
have to use kerosene so once again if
you have a monitor heater you have to
use kerosene which you can also get at a
gas station but if you have regular home
heating oil and you tank you can run
diesel fuel it'll work just fine so
that's pretty much what I have for you
guys tonight
and just remember check your batteries
in your thermostat make sure your
switches are all in the up position turn
your thermostat all the way up to 80
when you go to burn when you go to bleed
it out because if you don't the
thermostats gonna say the house is too
warm it's not gonna kick it on and then
you'll be over here doing nothing you'll
be pushing that and nothing will happen
sorry guys that's what I got for you
today thank you have a great night and
thank you for all your subscriptions and
all you support have a good night
