If the boiler locked out on run out and wasn't re fired up there's a chance that it could pull through with several fire ups.On mine there is an orange button down the bottom of the boiler hidden behind the noise dampener, this button re fires the boiler and after several attempts it will pull the oil through once it has shifted the air in the system.
However if your mates has been like it for a while the system will probably have to be bled and flushed through,the oil could even be froze in the pipe??

If mine runs out i switch al power of to the boiler and wait for a re fill then it will usually draw back through without having to bleed the system.
To bleed it just undo the oil pipe where it connects to the boiler and draw some oil through then re connect then you will no if it is the supply at fault or the boiler itself. Failing that don't mess and call a plumber/heating engineer.
Good luck fella.

[quote=""AW8""][quote=""X5Sport""]Kinell! That sounds like a lot of oil!! [/quote]

[quote=""x555""]AW8 ... thats a lot of oil for a 3 bed mate i have used over £500 since November mind with all this cold weather we have had [/quote][/quote]

The insulation here is poor, the double glazing & doors allow drafts & the boiler & entire heating system is truly Jurassic !

The financial figure I quoted relates to 1000 litres of oil but I reckon I still have about 250 litres left.
