This method maintains consistent fuel oil quality to the individual
burners and therefore decreases the frequency of maintenance and
service. When a component breakdown occurs in a burner or in the
supply system, the trouble is easily found and service is restored
quickly.

Oil is automatically and constantly maintained in the supply tank at
a level sufficient to meet all burner needs. As oil is used, the
pressure drop is sensed by a pre-set automatic pressure switch,
which signals the booster pump to restore proper level. There is no
practical limit on the height or distance that the motorized pump can
deliver oil to the supply tank.
The great advantage of the booster pump along with a gravity tank
is that it accomplishes its purpose in the most simple and direct
manner. This results in the most economical installation, with the
shortest possible runs of pipe and wire. It also enables the installer
to adapt with ease to almost any building configuration. A simple
one pipe connection to each burner helps eliminate air in oil line
with constant flow of fuel and tempers the oil.
Simplicity of operation of the individual burner decreases the
chances that service will be needed. When a component breakdown
occurs in a burner or in the supply system, the trouble is easily
found and service is restored quickly.
