    Hi, I have a firebird -s 50 - 90 oil central heating boiler and I cannot get it to work.

    The oil ran out and I have been trying to bleed the system for air locks but I am getting nowhere.

    I have the correct nut open but I cannot get the oil to come no matter how often i reset. I also have checked the outlet on the tank and it's flowing fine and there are no other junctions overground between the tank and the boiler.

    Any suggestions ?

    Many thanks

    How much oil did you get? Don't press the reset too often. It's dangerous an can cause over €100 of damage. Do you have a good flow of oil where the pipe enters the burner?
