Get real!
If you have a smell from a modern oil boiler there is something
wrong with
your installation.

Installation is perfect - in an outbuilding. I guess you've just
got
acclimatised to the smell over the years but I can walk into any
house and
detect an oil boiler straight away. The smell gradually accumulates
and
there is nothing you can do to stop it.

We have an internal oil boiler in the kitchen. It's not particularly
modern (between 9 and 12 years old probably). We certainly can't smell
it now, and I don't think we ever could (it was in the house when we
moved in).

YMMV
