Reset button pressed 20 times!!!

Took this out of an FHA today. Had to bring it home so the kids could have an old fashion "oil mans campfire" will return and reinstall it tuesday morning. Thank god the homeowner wasn't able to restart the system,homeowners wife told me reset was hit aleast 20 times. Took over 25 mins. to burn itself out. Anyway folk's this is why reset 1 time only!

    thats great

    John,is the chimney and flue pipe oil soaked too? Had a gas station where 3 shifts reset the suspended furnace about every 20 minutes for 9 hours. I drilled 1/4" holes thru the case into the exchanger and drained it to a 5 gallon bucket.Had the fire deptment there when we fired it up the next day after I wiped out the case and flue pipe.Killed every bug with in 2 blocks.Forrest Gump lives in every state I guess.

    Dave, I was lucky

    only the heat exchanger was wet,nozzle was plugged but still had a flow but no vapor.Wiped it down reinstalled the chamber and lite off was good with no smoke John@Reliable
