Have oil here too, been told to fil it up, leave a while until gravity does its job and then fire up the boiler. If doesn't run then phone this number (heating guy) and he will bleed and change filter.

Yeah we ran out of oil here in Feb last year. After refilling it we tried bleeding the air out (as per instructions) but gave up and got the boiler guy in, who tbf did take an hour or so to get it sorted.
I think we just needed to bleed it for a lot longer until all the air was out but the run of our pipes made it tricky.

Grand, will let the oil settle for 24hrs and give it a go. Thanks for advice.

Hot water packed in t’other day - boiler pressure dropped but resetting that didn’t help. It’s been a nippy week. Have now realised the heating oil gauge is broken and the tank’s run dry.
If that’s the problem, any advice on restarting a heating system that’s probably pulled through air?
