Miller CMF-80 PO oil leak
Posted: Sat Jan 05, 2013 3:30 pm
Hi All,
Have a slight problem with my K1-fired burner dripping fuel from nozzle(I think) and out the bottom of burner housing/air shutter. Furnace runs fine otherwise, just an inconvenience to keep cleaning burner housing every 3-4 cycles because of the unpleasant smell. Furnace ran leak-free last heating season...the only changes being a recent delivery of fuel and an earthquake in mid-October. Took the gun assembly out, cleaned and replaced nozzle with same size, dammed the space between the air tube and burner housing...but it still leaks. I'm wondering if I got a contaminated batch of fuel...I'll try cleaning/replacing pump screen next.
Anyone have any ideas on the cause of nozzle leaks??
Cheers, Steve
