Good afternoon!

I foolishly let my tank run out of oil. Of course this led to a lockout even after filling and this new boiler is throwing me for a loop! Its a Bosch worcester 12/18 heatslave... I've checked the outside valve and fire valve and all are in order so pretty sure all I need to do is bleed the oil line but not sure where its at or how to get to it.. All very compact together.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated hoping to have a shower today!

I'm not familiar with your boiler but there will be a reset button on the boiler probably on the burner
 
Get an engineer. If you start playing you'll end up paying.
 
dont keep pushing the reset button or it will cost you an oil pump
 
if you get an engineer in, he will pull the oil through the line and as lame plumber said, save you a pump.
