Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

Oh, and meant to have been working in Bray and Terenure today but the marathon maxed everything a pain. Went to Clondalkin and Clonsilla instead!

Bray and Terenure tomorrow.....

Has to run on 28sec. Gas oil will clog the secondary heat exchanger inside a month, that's why there's no settings for it in the mi's.

is ther no way for this to run on gas oil at all
 
Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

by gas oil I assume your talking red diesel which fm memory isnt a good idea in a condensing combi, as youll just end up with a right mess to clean up.

haha just playing catchup with croppie

Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

When i was staying at a friends my dad did this to our boiler (warm flow)

a month later when i returned and had black smoke coming out of the flue i thought hmmmm....


a total pain to clean out after.

have you removed a gas oil boiler and replaced it with this?

26c equates to combi in my little head, not heat only and be it a utility, boiler house external the guts are the same the covers or not just differ. All lt oil as detailed in the instructions

pedantics, you still cant,do it
 
Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

yeah installed already but not much left in tank so wil drain and get him to refill with kero
 
Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

customer a bit of a peculiar one and im sure he will have some issue on why he has to change to kero ive told him already it cleaner burning but hes a herd one
 
Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

It's the condense that cause the problem. Because gas oil produces more carbon, regardless how clean we get it running, it combines with the condense and fills the hex with something looking like sump oil.

Believe me, you only ever want to clean it out once!

No worries, better for him to have a hissy fit now than coming up to Xmas. Plus I get the impression he'd slate you before recommending you!

yeah i wouldnt mind but tank was unmarked and hed told me it was kero and i never checked before i started id say hes been mixing it and getting whatever fuel he could at the cheapest price so this will be fun for the next few years now
 
Re: firebird enviromax c26 best settings for gas oil anyone any advise on best result

If he queries you, ask him if he puts whatever type of fuel is cheapest in his car and when he says no, just say there you go.
