In reply to Bleed lines; ran out of oil by Idena L. Baker on January 30th, 2004 08:54 AM [Go to top of thread]
swiped from a website elsewhere - worked for me:
Probably on the left side of the burner unit is the fuel pump. That's the thing the fuel line leads to. On the side of the pump,maybe at 4 or 8 o'clock position there is a bleeder. It looks sort of like a grease fitting. It has a hex shoulder on it,like a nut or bolt. Might be 3/8" inch.
Shut the furnace off,loosen the bleeder then tighten it loosely.
Put a can or cup under the bleeder to catch the fuel oil. At the same time you start the burner,loosen the bleeder. It should spit fuel and air,then solid fuel.
Tighten the bleeder,and the flame should catch. If not,do it again. Sometimes it takes a couple tries.
