How to Prime an Oil Boiler | After you run out of fuel. 

Thank you so much for this video! This was something my husband always did if we ran out of oil, but we are separated and I ran out of oil last night. I was able to do this myself because of your video. You not only saved me $100 but helped me to feel like I can do things on my own. Thank you!

Thank you so much bro! I had a "boiler guy" come to my house to do this the first time it happened like 10 years ago. He had it "fixed" so fast when my back was turned, I didn't see what he did, so I asked him for future reference. He told me to loosen the bolt on the bottom of the filter until oil came out & quickly tighten it back up. Needless to say, that didn't look right, so we've been very diligent about not running out of oil again ever since - Until this morning!! 🙄 Being a "RU-vidr" myself, I knew I'd find a better way, and I did when I found your video. Here's a few bucks as a token of my appreciation; and as a hint to all the other people who you've saved hundreds of dollars for. THANKS AGAIN!

Hi there from the UK. Your video really helped me out to get my oil boiler going again, so thank you very much. My bleed valve was a little different to yours, but the same principle. It took 3 repeats of the process, but worked like a charm! Thanks again 👍

Just moved to Northern Maine, thank you!! I'm from Florida and never used a furnace before. This was very helpful!!

Thank you so much! As a hobby auto mechanic, once you showed where to look for the drain nipple was, then it all made sense. Had to hold the reset button for about 10 secs before pump would prime. Did it twice for water heater and once for boiler...all seems to be working now. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video, My mum was struggling after her boiler been filled, went round after only ever using gas, 1 hour later searched and found your vid and was up and running within 5 mins Much appreciated :) Take care

Thanks for sharing - was able to restart my furnace today as a result. Winter in Canada so you know it meant a lot, lol.

Good Video! I now feel like I can Prime my own Oil burner! Thank you!!

Thanks man!!!! This video helped a lot. Saved me from having to call the oil company to send someone out.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thank you very much! Saved me time and money!

I am watching to you since 2007 .P you make great videos.

This was so great and so interesting! To think I was thrilled to put air in my soft tire for the first time. I felt so accomplished. Now there is a video you could do too because I honestly had no idea how to do it.🤦‍♀️

Very helpful, thank you!

Thanks man. Good info!

Okay…. Fellow Mainer here and this dude just saved me a couple of hundred dollars after I foolishly let my oil tank run dry. Worked first time just like in the video. Thank you! Now a subscriber and big fan.

01 20 24 I was bleeding w furnace off for sooo many years. This is oh so easy now. Thank you.

Thank you!! Worked!

Thanks for sharing

You saved me 175 dollars Thank you

Thanks I understand 👍👍👍👍

you are a life saver 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Thank u

I watched this yesterday - it helped. I went to my pump and can't find the drip/exit 'tap'. Mine is also an R.B.L. manufacture.

$50 -$100 I wish. My wife just got a quote for$275. Thanks for your video!

What do I do if I don't have that little brass pipe there? It's just the screw on... No hole. Can I use the little allen key valve (above the brass one on your video, to the left) on the side of the square metal part instead?

Use a 3/8 box wrench when purging. Adjustable wrench has a tendency to slip.

My boiler fired up after bleeding. However my radiators are hotter now than before. Have I tightened the bleeder valve too much?

My mother's oil burner has stopped working today, plenty of oil in the tank but when we switch the heat on, nothing happens. It looks similar to your boiler and I was wondering is the red circular button in the thumbnail of this video a restart button?

Does the heat need to be turned off when you do this (thermostat set to off)?

can I just turn up my thermostat to turn on my boiler? or do I need to push that button?

What should I do if no oil comes out after I press the button?

I bled mine and when I push the reset button it shuts off in the middle of Me doing so after 20-30 seconds maybe. Any idea why ?

did it twice and reset button will not reset. i have thermostat up high also

What happens if nothing happens when you push the button?

Iv no fuel coming out i just got my tank filled up but nothing is happening?

I’ve literally hit this button a hundred times. No oil comes out after loosening.

Your hand was in the way of the flow lol

You did not prime it long enough, normally you should let the thing run way more than a couple seconds. Hit the reset button two or three times at least

Didn’t work
