Thanks for all that information. Much appreciated. Mike

The tank is 1000 gallons and is probably close to 60 years old. I usually top it off in the fall each year. I have a hot water boiler system, an old weil-mclain with a becket burner.

Thank you for the advice. I will certainly take it into consideration should the problem arise once again. What can be done if there is water/condensation in the fuel tank? Mike

About the sputtering: the burner would kick on, run for 10-15 seconds, then shut off. After 30 seconds it would start back up and usually complete the cycle, but sputter a lot.

I need help determining the manufacturer and where to purchase/replace parts. Thanks.
