What might be a 'Tiger Loop' in relation to an oil fueled boiler and
its feeder pipes?

A tiger loop is a device which does away with the need for the return from
the to the oil tank. Clever little bit of kit.

Any explanations of the device on the web?

Just trying to satisfy my curiosity.

Cheers...

A tiger loop is an fuel oil lifter. It uses the boiler burner pump to
circulate a flow and return in say 10mm copper pipework through the
tiger loop which in turn creates suction on the incoming supply from
the oil storage tank - this will enable the storage tank to be lower
than the boiler burner as opposed to a gravity feed which would be
better installed in 15mm pipework or larger to overcome the resistance
(pressure loss). In addition, fuel oil becomes less viscous in cold
weather conditions and in some cases is preheated...

So he shouldn't have bothered coming here then? We may as well close
uk.d-i-y since "try google" can be used as an answer to every question.

It's only polite to google first to help *ensure* places like this are
repositories of knowledge otherwise not available. The google will also pick
up stuff on here. In any case Mr Dawson answered the OP's original question
and only suggested googling when he wanted a picture as well! Seems
perfectly reasonable to me.

The guy asked, reasonably, not for a picture but for a web reference and
got a smarty-arsey reply. I'll ask for dissolution of uk.d-i-y on the
grounds that it has now been replaced by the web shall I?

errr no, I believe I said why uk.d-i-y was a good thing. To find web
references google is by far the best way. Nearly anyone who answers such a
question here *with* a web reference will have found it by googling - isn't
it better the original questioner should try that first? uk.d-i-y is for
the added value of the experience accumlated here and in the regular posters
and for the answers to simple questions "what is a...?" which Mr Dawson gave
quite politely (I thought).

Steve,

I am so sorry that I did not provide a more concise description, but given
the question again, I thought i would look at google first, and there were
loads of sites,so with out knowing the specific request i suggested to try
google.

Don't flame me for my response it was polite and short, so crawl back under
your rock for the winter and please don't just come on board and wind people
up.
