4.10 Fuel supply
The burner is equipped with a self-priming pump which is capable
of feeding itself within the limits listed in the table at the left.
The tank higher than the burner A
The distance "P" must not exceed 33 ft in order to avoid subjecting
the pump's seal to excessive strain; the distance "V" must not ex-
ceed 13 ft in order to permit pump self-priming even when the tank
is almost completely empty.
The tank lower than the burner B
Pump suction pressures higher than 13 "Hg must not be exceeded
because at higher levels gas is released from the fuel, the pump
starts making noise and its working life-span decreases.
It is good practice to ensure that the return and suction lines enter
the burner from the same height; in this way it will be more improb-
able that the suction line fails to prime or stops priming.

Installation

Priming pump
Before starting the burner, make sure that the tank return
line is not clogged.
Obstructions in the line could cause damage to the pump
seal. (The pump leaves the factory with the by-pass closed).
Also check to make sure that the valves located on the suction
line are open and that there is sufficient fuel in the tank.
For self-priming to take place, one of the screws 3) of the
pump (Fig. 20) must be loosened in order to bleed off the air
contained in the suction line.
