I have a house that was built in the 50's. It's got an old Beckett oil furnace. When the burner was on the fire was cutting out for a fraction of a second and then burning again. (it even sounds like it's cutting in and out) This was getting increasingly worse to the point where it would cut out for a full second. I don't know anything about oil furnaces so I looked it up online and learned the basics of the oil furnace parts and what they did. After reading about someones account of problems similar to mine and that he solved it by replacing the filter I decided to take a wrench to my fiter and see what I could figure out. It turns out that the filter is real easy to remove. Do a search online so that you can figure out what the filter housing looks like. Take a wrench to the large center bold which lowers the bottom part of the filter and once loose, it can be lowered all the way and removed.

I actually fixed my furnace by wiping the old filter element clean. It was covered in black goo. I just checked Amazon and found these filters at a really reasonable price so I just ordered 2 of them. The next time my furnace starts acting up I'm just going to replace that old filter with one of these new ones. When I described my problem to a furnace repair man he wanted $100 just to come out to take a look at my furnace. So, I just saved myself a lot of money. I also read that it's recommended to replace this filter once a season.

By the way. Because of the way my filter is mounted above the fuel line, when I removed the filter the fuel in the fuel line leaked back toward the fuel tank. When putting the filter back on I filled it with kerosene so that there wouldn't be any air in it but when I was done I aparently had a large air bubble in the fuel line. After about 20 seconds of the furnace running with no fire I remembered to press the burner reset button. The first time I pressed it the burner fired up for a few seconds then cut out. The second time I pressed it my burner lit back up and ran fine.

About your oil funace,I have ben working on them for 30yrs.When you take out the filter have a new one to replace it.Also when you filled the oil filter

container. you have a wrench the size of the air bleeder,on oil pump,just like disk brakes.(but it's on the bottom)

put a container under it. Then as soon as the furnace kicks on, open the bleed

fitting until oil starts coming out,not just foam,that's mostly air.But as soon as pure oil comes out,close the fitting and and furnace should light off right away.A tip try and do this 1 day after a delivery,because of level of oil in tank is higher,and waiting a day lets sediment settle and will get trapped by filter.yearly maint. includes checking if electrodes are worn out,some are adjustable.Also if you have a old furnace,you can save money by haveing a new high speed burner put in.also if you ever change your furnace stick with oil.Iused to do boiler efficiency tests oil can get upto 97%,gas like 89%

You can always pay $50 or $100 worth of oil to any company to hold you over.

Also if changing the furnace get a cold start boiler and a 40 gal amtrol hw heater,wired for priority HW,shuts off heat when taking a shower.Also the boiler will never come on unless you need it.Unlike old boilers even new ones that have the HW coil inside,which means your oil furnace,must stay at 180 degrees no matter what.Waste of oil. Hoped that helped.ps if your beckett burner has a cad cell the red button will be on burner,if not old furnaces use a bimetal safety,which must be cleaned anually,(shut off power remove stack switch and just use a hand wire brush,take the soot off,tht's what is causing it to malfuntion,soot is insulatin the bi metal safety)usually can only get at holding screw thru top of boiler right above safet stack switch.If it doesn't sense heat in 15 to 30 seconds will shut down furnace. the newer ones has a fire-eye sensor under the the transformer that can get dirty too,just wipe clean.

Because our oil seems to have its share of sludge & junk, I put TWO filters in series, in the fuel oil line. This is the first one after the tank and takes out the "big" pieces.

I also have a second filter in line of the MICRO particle size variety. White fine pores plastic with a "star" shaped cross section. This has provided a great combo to get everything that CAN be filtered out to leave only clean oil to go forward to the burner.

Another great item, is an additive called HOT. I add it about once every 6 months.

It REALLY disolves most of the "stuff" that would otherwise clog the burner nozzle.

It also combines with water and gets it thru the system. HOT is available from EQUIPSUPPLY.COM .
