Texaco FCS boiler

Was going through the house file last night and I found an invoice for when this particular boiler was installed in the '70s, I'm just curious about the history of it etc.

Is it still there? If so, how about a pic?

Frank,

It's long gone. It was replaced by the Burnham V7 that I currently have in 1998.

BTU/h and installed Sq Ft Radiation is the same? Back then they didn't know.

Let's see the sale price.

In the Hydronic Rating Handbook, it says Texaco marketed these through their Paragon division. The FC/FCS appears to be a rebranded Dunkirk 13 series. That one had a rating of 1.95 GPH with whatever burner they used at the time, and 595 square feet EDR.

That's about half of what I have now, boiler currently installed has a rating of 379 square feet of EDR and a firing rate of 1.05 GPH

Ignorance isn't a modern concept and it also didn't start in the 1970s.

I think I remember working on them around here (NJ) in the 1980's. "Texaco" brand oil burners were very poplar around here. I believe they were actually Beckett AF oil burners with a Texaco label.

Painted red!

As usual, Steamhead is correct. A Blue Circle with a green jacket and red burner
