I see your point and agree totally, if it ain't broke don't fix it. But can my system run on kerosene, i.e. if there was only kerosene available, would I have to get a new system?

type of home heating oil

When I order oil my supplier always asks me what type I want, kerosene or ordinary home heating oil. I never know which, so I just tell them to deliver the same as last time, which is ordinary home heating oil. Is kerosene just more expensive, or can my system not use it?

Thermostat settings

The other day I turned down the thermostat on my boiler from over seventy to around fifty, because my radiators were too hot to touch. They're fine now, but when I was surfing today I saw that a certain site recommended that the temperature should be set at seventy degrees. Is it right?

That has happened to me a few times and happened the other day when two new rads were added to the system. The plumber said my lounge rad needed to be bled. It has two panels and the bleed screw on the front panel is missing, so he said it had obviously not worked for years, and wouldn't believe me ...

half radiator cold

I've been trying to bleed the radiator in the bathroom which gets hot on the bottom half but stays cold on the top half. There's no sound of air gushing out when I open the valve and no water comes out. Should I give the key a few turns to open it more?
