Hi there,

Does anyone have a service manual or spares for the now long obsolete BM
Controls Type 346 oil lifter? In particular details for the disassembly
and servicing of the oil pump impeller?

It has been unfortunately gummed up by bat dung over the summer and
routine servicing of the filter and cleaning out was not enough

Thanks for any pointers to info - or to a BTEC registered oil line
technician in the north east who could repair the oil line system.

Sadly no. And by the time I actually encountered someone (now retired)
who knew how to repair it I had already solved the problem myself.

It really is a Heath Robinson contraption!

If memory serves the pump drive bar is a fairly simple but annoying to
fit thing that has a slot or is it a knife edge at each end.

I suspect you could make one out of a combination of brass shim, thin
copper pipe and a bit of soft solder in true DIY fashion. The manual
link in the original thread might still be live if you are in luck.

FWIW My boilerman says next time it fails it is going to be turned into
a tiger loop which is the modern alternative for pumping fuel uphill.

It was actually solved. The small horizontal pipe at the bottom of the
tank had a tiny crack in it and cleaning out the bat dung which was the
consistency of putty had allowed it to weep - defeating the pump.

Once the pipe was properly sealed again the pump could lift fuel from
the main storage vessel instead of merely moving the priming fuel around
uselessly from one side of the pump to the other.

They are insanely expensive. Much more common in Belgium and Denmark
where fuel oil tanks are often in cellars.

Brian, can you set a blocking filter in Microsoft Outlook Express based
on the distinctive "caedfaa9ed12" part of every single HOH posting that
arrives on this news group's doorstep?

AFAICR, that snippet of their email addresses as shown below has been
more than sufficient to killfile every last one of these HOH posts.
