Pilot light off in summer?

[Uncle Peter]

You said "Petrol cars" above, that's what we're comparing to boilers, because they make sparks like boilers. FFS you're forgetful.

[Uncle Peter]

It's how the boiler is designed.

The web could be back away from the match.

The important thing was the spider, not who comes to sort it.

Contrarywise. You called me illiterate, without even checking your para= graph above for two fuckups.

Ah. You're one of those morons that doesn't like foul language, that sa= ys it all.

Maybe the valve is positioned closer to the end and less smell is made t= o attract spiders?

Unless it blocked the jet and no gas got out.

The best way to insulate your home is with a big pile of fridge-foam aer= osol cans: Just fill the entire house with foam and tunnel to the bits you need to = get to, pack rat style.

Glow plugs only operate when the ignition is first switched on to heat up the cylinder, they don't 'fire' after that. In fact they don't fire at all, just heat up and 'glow' for a short time.

Sigh at the idiocy of the statement - I know full well it's designed that way, but you lack the intelligence to do anything about - which according to some figures I've seen, would save around ?5000 a year by changing it to an energy efficient one!

Bloody hell, a live and kicking spider's web! Roaring with laughter.

I've yet to see a spider's web "back away" from any match, I've seen them 'shiver' with the rising heat, but *never*, *never* back away from one. Now the old spider, that is a different matter, they do "back away" a bit with hot match chasing them.

Are you really that dense to believe that rubbish?

Only "two fuckups" - I could easily find a post of yours with many, many more than "two". And an even bigger grin at that!

Foul language used in the right situations doesn't bother me at all, and in fact, I occasionally use it myself when *talking* in like-minded groups of people that I know - but generally when you use it as every-day language, it shows a great lack of command of the English language which is a good sign of illiteracy, sadly of which many of your posts confirm.

Ergo, I consider those who use "foul language" as an excuse "morons" - of which you are certainly one!

[OG]

dat's a hell of a pilot light!

[Unbeliever]

Farmer, having driven and maintained diesels and other engine forms. I am well aware of that and obviously, the sarcasm directed at Uncle Peter escaped you.

[Unbeliever]

There you go again! Cussing just to object to a sensible analogy that was made to compare two different types of sparking plugs.

Illiterate sod.

[Unbeliever]

But do they or *DON'T* they wear out then - even if they are at different rates? If with your high level of intellect, you know of a type that doesn't, please let me know via Usenet.

Ah rodders the tosser again - I thought you were doing DiY 6 feet under by now.

[Uncle Peter]

Are you one of those religious fuckwits who thinks a swearword is wrong and bad in some way?

If the rate is slower than the rate at which the rest of the equipment wears out, it can be ignored.

[Unbeliever]

My sides are aching so much from laughing at you Uncle Peter, I think it's time to abandon this thread before I do myself some damage as a result.

Have a good day and a word of advice get a carbon monoxide Detector for your own safety as you may well wake up and find yourself dead one day when your old boiler attacks you with the stuff due to lack of servicing and ham-fisted interference from you.

Any CO goes outside you fool.

What do you call an aerobics instructor who doesn't cause pain & agony? Unemployed.

It reduces the amount of stray gas.

That doesn't mean they can't get to the fire.

If you are including glow plugs in your different types of spark plugs you are in error, and electrodes in stoves do wear out but not as often as the electronics that generate the spark. Spark gap in stove electrodes can be adjusted as they wear usually.

[F Murtz]

If not spiders then wasps will lay their eggs in there (with a spider for food)and seal off jet with mud

when the sparky thing or a match lights the pilot light that will set

[F Murtz]

You may be the idiot here, a few years ago heaters and burners were designed with permanently on pilots which were not designed to be turned on and off at will (usually fairly complicated action)It was never done except in cases of prolonged absences.There would be many of these heating devices still in existence.
