- plunger worn out

- plastic/metal in the way of plunger

- fuel solenoid intermittent.

b. Nozzle Tower

- cracked

- poorly machined

c. Short cycling

- control t-stat bad

- someone turned heater off/on repeatedly

d. Return Fuel Check Valve

heaters manufactured before 2001

2. If The Heater Smokes During The Burn Cycle.

a. Electrodes out of adjustment

b. Air in the fuel system

c. Bad nozzle

d. Fuel pressure

e. Fuel Pump

Intermittent Ignition Coil

- If the coil doesn’t turn on, the fuel sprays for 20 seconds, before the photo eye

shuts the fuel off.
