I been in my house since 2000 and my monitor came with the house. when I moved in I had no idea what to do with it other than tinker around with it getting it to light and stay lit. My fuel tank is the original one that was here. I removed the fuel filter at the tank. It was just another place for water to build up and freeze. I replaced the fuel line with a piece of 3/8" truck air line and suitable air line fittings. These have a brass ferrule that embed themselves as you tighten the gland nut. The only copper piece I have is the flared end that goes on my heater inlet. The copper goes through the house directly to the heater. So when I have to service it I need to shut off the fuel at the tank. I'm gonna change it out this year with an angle fitting and a valve inside the house. OK. when the unit starts up, it goes through a purge cycle of three minutes, then the fuel solenoid pump turns on low and admits fuel to the burner mat. within 30 seconds the igniter turns on and starts the flame. if the flame isn't detected inside of 1 minute the solenoid stops and the lights flash indicating no fuel. you got yahoo messenger? would make this so much easier than back and forth thru the forum. my handle in yahoo IM is buffalo12980@yahoo dot com.
