My heating oil supplier here in Cumbria is promoting something they call
"Cleanburn" heating oil. It's claimed to be upto 13% more efficient than
conventional heating oil and reduces boiler maintenance frequency. The
product is described here http://www.kellyfuels.co.uk/kf2.htm. Has
anyone used this oil and found the claims justified?

Well if you live in north Cumbria you probably use the same supplier as us
(based in Dalston), and hence have used the same fuel as us, since moving
into our new house in 1970, the 1st boiler packed in in 1988, and we have
just replaced that one recently, although whilst I accept that they may have
gone on longer if they had been maintained, neither had had any maintenance
on them and both packed up for different reasons, 1st mechanical fault I
think, and the second was a rusty water tank which eventually leaked out.
So if boiler lasts 15 yrs without any maintenance, how long are they
suggesting that they will last using this fuel?
