Try to find Serviceman's Handbook this was free from Webster Heating makers of Webster pumps has alot of good stuff about fuel systems.In order to size line you need to know lift,line run,pump gph. Most small systems with 50' line in total will be ok w/ 3/8" line Good Luck!0 -
Oil Line Sizing
We have included a chart from Suntec for Two-Pipe systems.
Please remember that these numbers are for clean oil lines only the line legnths get shorter quickly as the lines get dirty.

Another source of information
Hi Pete, I would say all the advice you have been given is right on the mark. I would like to also mention something I have available.
Imagine how nice it would be, to be able to have a disc you could just slip into your computer and type in some information that would give you the results to the anticipated vacuum of a fuel unit based fuel line length, height and nozzle GPH Before exceeding the fuel units limitation? Or how much fuel line you could run before exceeding the fuel units limitation and what size it should be or if it should be a single line system or a Two line configuration!
Oh sure, you could look at the fuel unit manufactures book and do the math, God love them folks they have put a lot into them books for you and I.. But just think of how much time you could save the next time youre laying out a job or you have a call back that is driving you crazy and youre almost certain the fuel unit is being pushed beyond its limitations.
Im going to be honest with you because thats me and I like to be up front with everyone, and especially my fellow technicians. If youre use to working with Microsoft Excel Worksheets you can make many of your own quick conversion worksheets. I have just taken the time to do it for you. And thats how Carry the Torch Quick Conversion was created. With this disc youll be able to quickly determine the acceptable length of fuel line you can use based on an installation or system with an A2VA 7116 or a A2VA 3006 or similar., a common residential fuel unit. Youll also be able to tell if its time to step up to something larger than that fuel unit. Like a B Pump?
Plus I threw in a few extra helpful formulas. Like the cost conversions from electric to oil (now you ca show your customer how much money you can really save them! Or a handy Fahrenheit to Celsius Converter.
Heck you can even find out the Bar of a fuel unit in seconds flat! You can get your Carry the Torch Quick Conversion Disc for just $9.95 plus shipping. Please consider taking advantage of this time saving opportunity from your friend in the industry and Oil Tech Talk. Youll be glad you did!
