Well?? Oil is my baby ❤ dirty , stinky, an always money in my pocket . Guess I love them ( besides always leaving the job site nasty looking an smelling with my wife demanding to strip outside before coming in our home😂😂)But can be so dam many things. But if I May quote your words here….
” if you’re not testing, you’re guessing.”
First I would isolate domestic I really don’t like to looks of that unit. An then check my sensors . If they all checked out ok then I would tie into the auto fill an shut down system. An also check the flame sensor. Make sure she’s crystal clean. But without being their ?🤷🏻♂️ but as to run stop run stop flame eyeball dirty or defective or could be a faulty, low pressure or high pressure cut out.. but let’s be honest here without having my meter in my hand and standing there? I am just GUESSING ❤❤❤
Good opportunity for you to contact Steve Lav for advice.
The probe is the primary LWCO and feeder control. Probably a dirty sensor probe. Crooked vents is tacky work but nothing wrong with increased venting of the steam loops.
That’s completely wrong, you cant have both Cycle guard and McDonald and Miller #67 wired together for LWCO . They should should wire that Cycle guard with auto feeder and remove that #67 from the boiler completely
Another place to check is where the cold makeup water enters the hot boiler, scale can build up there and restrict the pipe and cause the water feeder to hang open after its deenergized, flooding the boiler, especially with a small 1/2" connection, hard water scale can cause this. I like to place a union there so it can be easily checked. If you dont know about it like this guy, the boiler will flood again after he leaves!
That's a dogs breakfast < Steam _---- Hot water system * piping is a nightmare to
If you had a Bread Truck you could work on that Oil Burner...No Bread truck NO Bueno 🤣
For someone else to figure out. Automatic feeder may have had some crud in it that kept it from closing all the way. This one will leave viewers hangin
Calling them like you see them, good practice
I'm surprised at OSI.
That’s a pretty big coffee machine 😂
Finally working on a diesel boiler...cool!
Why Would You Drain That With The Boiler On. The First Thing You Do Is Shut OFF Then Drain. OFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
If that company is a premier company, they obviously hire hacks 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Mikey Pipes is also a hack, but he doesn't know it !
Because they didnt want to pay to do it right. Then they got a hack to put main vents in like that
Mike, you need to volume down, shouting like we're deaf 😂
Talk about fast service for an after hours emergency call! Big 👍🏻 Mike.
I like this video
Mikey FUCKEN pipes!!!!!!!!!!!!!🇺🇸
8 pounds for 1 gallon of water x5 they get heavy real qck lol
Need to get steve lav out there to fix it 😅
Wish everyone reading this stay safe and happy, thank you and your video so much! Wishing you happiness and success always!
Bro you gotta give me back that unhinged customer video! You can't tease me like that.
@@PipeDoctor Done!
😐👍🏻🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺
Tapping into the side wall of old pipes is just asking for a leak. Hacks bringing you stacks again. Make the trades great again Mikey Pipes.
grabs the welder....
Call it like it is Mikey good video !!
All of em
Oil Beckett. She’s a burner mama
I used to work on those Becketts....all day long.....Carlin's, too.....
I worked on them all up to the Carlin 1150. They run on oil to a certain outside temp then they switch to gas. But when it's really cold back to oil and getting 3,000 or more oil deliveries a week. Nozzles are huge.

8 buckets at about 4 gallons per bucket over 32 gallons of water in the system she,s a feeder momma,she would definitely also be a leaker ,great job in responding so quickly
Some people have the skill and chargability of mp and some not so much
When you shut the water feed off it looked like it isolated the expansion tank from the system. Right?....tank needs to be moved to the other side of the shut off
My birthday plumbing video of the day😂
I agree with you that was just asking for trouble.
Ordered a rug with my logo . Customers love it
I'll come up to long island and be your oil man haha
8 buckets is my guess
@@PipeDoctor :)
9 buckets 🪣
@@PipeDoctor I was close lol it’s all good 😊
Hacks bring you stacks!!!!!!!!
I’m guessing 12 buckets
Hey Ive been enjoying your videos
8 buckets my guess
@@PipeDoctor We exchanged notes on this kind of problem in the past. I think we agreed that it is better to do it the old fashioned way and just add some water manually if need be. Over the years, I have seen a few automatic feeders go bad an overfill your neighbors systems causing a lot of water damage. Anyway, you are a good man helping these people out. Stay well my friend.
Hot water cracks porcelain?
My vacation house has well water and I take the hand held shower sprayer and blast the top tank of the toilet to get all the buildup out.
Guess I should stop.
Thabks!
It's a temperature and volume issue, bro.....
Hey, it's even with the TV LOL. How far into that 2" does that nipple go? Will it impede flow? Asking bc im curious.
I think the vents risers were actually vertical plumb and the steam mains had that much pitch making it look odd.
there's no telling how long ago they were drilled and tapped in there, could have been since original install an "zillion" years ago. 🥳
hey mike do you take the metris on the belt and southern state? i have one too. But being that it's a commercial plate I've been hesitant to do it. It's just wonder if you've been getting away with it
@@PipeDoctor ill check it out. thanks
Turn the power off!
I say you used 20 beckets.
30. Not even close. Lol.
7 buckets
9 buckets
11 buckets
The 67 is a secondary lwco. Which you never see on residential unit. Commercial yes.
I see them all the time in yonkers, mount vernon and The Bronx,customers aren't aware of flushing properly and the majority I've delt with are stuck float in the body🙏
@@lfdvidinc not surprised that water looked like mud!
Hi Mike
What do you think of New York banning natural gas furnaces and stoves in 2026? I guess restaurants and any building over seven stories is exempt.
@@PipeDoctor That makes it better
Lol natural gas burns cleaner than the coal at the power plant.
I think they want to freeze, have burst pipes, no food, nor a way to cook anything....
Yes because your draing it.
Hey I still get a sticker lol 😆

A forced air system would never do that, damn old fashion boilers, LOL
Steam, it uses steam to heat better then forced air.
