Oh and the bees were flying in and out of the hives.

But the crap that you blew back into the tank could cause
another blockage. Biodiesel is causing a lot of grief to some farmers
because it is blocking filters with ??algae. Is heating oil having
anything added to it ?.

Must be serious, even Scottish farmers are affected, and we know
how cold it is up there

There are a number of off-the-shelf products to reduce or eliminate
diesel bug. It's particularly common in boats.
Did you miss there was a strainer at the tank and house boilers almost always run on 28 second kerosene in England? Once the airlock was clear the oil flowed full bore into a bottle so I could be sure there wasn't a train of bubbles coming through the pipe to cause hiccups to the flame. Needless to say by using a transparent bottle I could see the kerosene was clean and clear. I do have previous experience in the game😎
