Feel,for you .
You took the advice and get an idiot!

Sorry for the state of our trade🙁

It does not surprise me at all to be honest.

Thanks for the replies I do appreciate it, I'll will ask around at the supplier of the faulty control box when I return it to see if they know of any engineers who are more attuned to OFTEC and general oil safety standards

That is truly bad. As last engineer in I always get the analyser out. Even if it's not a combustion related visit.

Few months ago went to a no oil call out. Ran out, just needs bleeding, nobody's touched it. Bled oil and fired first time. Analyser in and co @ 2500ppm. Somebody had tried to bleed it and screwed up the pump pressure.
Used plenty of ink on that one.

I can only apologise for the muppet you found. Gives us good guys a bad rep.

Always like to think a good engineer is like a puppy.
For life, not just for Christmas.

No neighbours with oil that could recommend?

Used to be that some Danfoss oil pumps came out of the box set at 10 bar and it stated that on instructions. (That was too high for Kerosine and all boilers MIs were lower.)
Yet I used to find when I serviced or repaired boilers that if someone had previously replaced the oil pump, the pressure setting had never been set.
No matter how much I am in a hurry, - like over busy and out fitting a nozzle or oil pump on an evening, I still do a final analyser test.
Also you never know who, as Simon says, had a go bleeding the oil pump. Seen a few with 20 bar pressure

Again thanks for the observations, I will endeavor to find an honest, reliable, valued oil engineer.

Call the bloke back and say can he send you a copy the FGA report.
Say it is required for the manufactures warranty and insurance purposes.

I wnt to a gas boiler the other week. The owner had had the gas valve changed, the pump changed & the PCB changed and the problem still persisted.
Problem - flame sensing probe was touching the burners causing burner to fail after 10 or so seconds.
Not only did I fix the problem, I walked away with a operating gas valve, pump & PCB that were sitting next to the boiler.

He left some real nasty Google reviews on the company that did the install and subsequent repairs - they offered to refund all the money they charged him for repairs if the owner would remove the reviews.
He got his all his money back.
