If it ain't broke you can't fix it.
Is your boiler missing it's dual flue
Fair enough, good boiler we have a fireboard combi, only issues have been burner related
You mention a sight tube , is your tank unbunded ?....my heating system.
Winter is on us and I got an oil delivery this morning as I knew it was nearly out end of last winter.
Once the oil was delivered I set about my normal annual maintenance on my oil fired central heating system:
I change the oil tank filter each year. What I immediately noticed was when I went to do that the housing was loose and starting to weep after the oil delivery!! Not good. The plastic bowl split from the centre bolt when I touched it.

Oops I said. (Or something similar!)
It was 12.30 so I drove to nearest plumber merchant as soon as this happened and got a new all metal filer bowl and a fitting to do away with the old Oil sight gauge which is no longer used. They were closing gates and van outside but let me in to get the filter.
Turns out it was just as well I decided to delete the oil gauge at the same time, it was rusted almost all through the body!

Cleaned with brake clean and bone dry 2 hours later. Jobs a good un and I believe that new oil delivery would have been on the street in the coming days had I not went to change the filter (oil tank is far away around back of my garage)

IIRC , I think that heating oil tanks are also require to have ball & lever cut offs not gate valves ..., Is sealing tape BIO oil resistant if not it may dissolve due to the ethanol content
Here in South Wales I understand it's now illegal to fill an unbunded tank , they also have to be bio oil compliant . Next door thought he was being clever , purchased a new cheapy sale item that was not bio compliant and ended up having to replace it two years later as all the welded seams had started to come apart & leak a lot of the full 1200 litres of his heating oil one hot Sunday afternoon.
I checked over my climbing ropes, removed the cut section. Labeled as 45 meter orginally, I measure it now at 41meter + 7 meter.

Used my new blower, tried the suction mode - it works but its slow.
Noticed I had a damp knee where its ******* out petrol as the rubber is perished

That depends on what your removing rust from.... by the looks of it something very rustyDoes removing rust count as maintaining View attachment 423924
Oh dear, was this in the ground or in the tree?I checked over my climbing ropes, removed the cut section. Labeled as 45 meter orginally, I measure it now at 41meter + 7 meter.
