Aquahot not firing, dripping diesel
#6

We were able to make some progress on the AH system and even thought we had it fixed for a few minutes. Thanks to Steve and Richard walking me through the process of elimination we were able to confirm the system was working correctly. However, upon removing the burner I noticed the the nozzle was continuing to leak fuel even with the system off.

We read through the manual and found how to check the fuel solenoid using a 12v power source. The only thing I could think to use at the time was the battery in my truck so I removed it and ran wires to the solenoid terminals. The solenoid clicked like it was supposed to and after cycling it a couple times the fuel quit leaking from the nozzle.

I put the system back together and it fired right up like normal. The system smoked like a freight train for a few minutes until it burnt off all of the excess diesel fuel but then ran fine and reached temp. Unfortunately, as soon as the system shut down after reaching temp it began to leak diesel again.

I'm hoping that if we replace the solenoid it will fix our issue. If anyone has experienced this before and was able to fix it I would love to hear if the solenoid solved the problem.
