Time for a pro. Deciding you can do it yourself will cost more in the end. Trust me. Chris

    Well


    your filter may be plugged with the sludge that was stirred up when the oil tank was refilled or the nozzel is foiled or the fuel screen is plugged or all of the above.

    You should never let the oil tank go empty. I tell my customers not to let it drop below 1/2. When the tank is refilled, sludge that accumulated over the years and sat harmlessly on the bottom gets stirred up and sent down the line when the empty tank is re-filled.

    You will need to call a pro in for this.
