in THE MAIN WALL
yes there are 2 1/2" lines to and from tank with by pass plug installed. as far as a tigar loop goes. the max lift is only 15'. i have to pull approx. 23'. i happened to call suntec tech. support and they had mentioned about installing a booster pump down at the tank to push the oil up as opposed to pulling. according to suntec rep. a booster pump will only pull or lift the fuel 15' max. but it will push the oil up to a max. of 35'. now all i have to do is figure out how to set up pump correctly.

    Is this a single or 2 pipe setup?

    Should be 2 pipe and check Suntec's site out to make sure the piping is large enough for the flow you're going to have.

    OR

    Install a Tiger Loop at the burner. Run a single pipe into the Tiger Loop from the tank and 2 pipe from the tL to the burner.
