@dwright15 right on !

[farmkatt38]

Im a woman and scared to death of doing this. my husband works out of town and i live out on a farm. What could happen if i make a mistake?  Anybody's advice would help! (if your sincere lol!) HELP!

[maceyofgrandbend]

@farmkatt38 pretty straight forward..but if you know of someone who farms they should know how to do this as a diesel engine has the same way to bleed the air out.furnace has the reset button as a safety

[smokeybrim7]

i bled it 4 times is it okay to keep trying and pressing the reset button?

[maceyofgrandbend]

@smokeybrim7 should be...trips when there is a problem..air ect

Is it true that if you keep pressing on the reset button the oil furnace could blow up? Thanks again for the info.

[maceyofgrandbend]

@11MRKARL reset button pops when there is a problem...

[11MRKARL]

Great video. Thanks for sharing this with us. You are great. Question - is the oil filter difficult to change on these oil furnaces? Thanks again.

[maceyofgrandbend]

@11MRKARL not bad to change just loosen up a bolt and put the new one on same way it came apart...for what I have thanks

[TurboTooNice]

Thanks you!! Going to try it right now-yours was the simplest video to follow, and you are right...easy. Wish me luck! Because it is both a holiday (New Years Day) and Sunday....Here goes nothing! Thanks!

[maceyofgrandbend]

@TurboTooNice well any questions I try my best to help you...cheers

Cost of hiring a heater man previously $121.00 and 3 days waiting.. ! Cost of doing it myself.. learned a lot now can replace filter and bleed lines my self.. COST $4.27 .. education and knowledge PRICELESS!

[maceyofgrandbend]

@takebackurhome learning is a on going thing..have a good one

[takebackurhome]

any suggestions on what to do when i am not getting any fuel heater is less than a year old ran out of oil put in diesel ran for less than 24 hours later and then I went got more fuel and it would not restart so I replace the oil filter but when i went to bleed the heater nothing is coming out.. so then i held the reset button to reset it and a tid bit of fuel came out but then nothing. even loosened the valve/nut on top of the filter canister but nothing came out or bubbled up.. any suggestions

[maceyofgrandbend]

@takebackurhome have another video up frozen fuel lines...check it out your fuel lines could be blocked with crude/crap hope that helps you out

[takebackurhome]

@maceyofgrandbend thanks figured out there was so much air in the lines had to loosen the bleeder nut on top of filter housing let air out there then got some movement in the bleeder had to keep hitting the reset the reset the reset a few times and boom fuel started to flow as soon as air was out it started! .. thanks for the great video..

[ThePartysquare1]

OMG! This works and is so easy. I am a recently separated woman and had to do this alone, nothing to it! Thanks, a bunch!

[maceyofgrandbend]

@ThePartysquare1 thanks for the comment..glad to help

[espltdm251playa]

Thanks alot man, your a lifesaver, you saved me a few bucks on having to call the oil company to prime it for me, thanks again and have a great summer \m/

[maceyofgrandbend]

[espltdm251playa]

@maceyofgrandbend I do home improvements for a living, but i never did anthing with a oil burner before, thanks again man

[IanoPiano]

i am having trouble locating my furnace bleeder valve - what you show as a bleeder valve, I don't have on mine. Is it possible that some bleeder valves look completely different then the one in this video? My furnace is a Rudd

[maceyofgrandbend]

@IanoPiano Hey

I have another vid called "frozen furnace fuel lines" this furnace has bleeder that looks like a bolt..follow the fuel line to the furnace than close to that there should be a bleeder screw....hope this helps ya!

[hayes100]

Stupid question: Is the bleeder at the furnace or the oil tank?

[maceyofgrandbend]

@hayes100 all questions are good,the bleeder is at the furnace,hope this helps ya

[maceyofgrandbend]

@hayes100 Hey I have another vid that deal with frozen fuel lines ouside....but there is a part where I had to bleed the line,and it is on a older furnace..the vid called frozen fuel lines it was posted fairly recently

[smegtroll]

[maceyofgrandbend]

@smegtroll glad I am some kind of help

[lewismoten]

So I can click on the reset (doesn't seem to do anything), and able to open up the bleeder to start letting oil out. How do you get the furnace to run so it can bleed?

[travelilua]

awesome!!!
