has been producing a lot of smoke and soot when it runs, now it has
started cutting out - no doubt the photocell is filthy. I was about to
get it serviced anyway but as it has been running fine for 11 years
with just a regular service I was wonder what would have caused it to
burn this way. Why is it producing such muck and what is likely to be
needed to fix it.

Thanks



Sorry I cut the top off this. It's a Grant Euroflame.


Fuel filter needs replacing or you purchased oil from a supplier in
Surrey...........

It's not the oil as it had been working fine for weeks after a fill...
plus I'm in Belfast :-)
