New Oil Burning stove
I have an oil furnace that has been giving me nightmares and have decided to install a free standing "Nestor Martin" heater. I have put the necessary liner in the chimney and all that stuff now I'm ready to hook up the fuel. My question is. Is there a way to branch off of the existing line to the furnace and therefore be able to operate both units at the same time? The furnace has a pump to draw fuel, the new one is gravity fed.

Thanks Ed. I may just install another tank. It looks like more of a headache to to all the two stage pump stuff. Not that I'm tryin' to get out of work and the challenge is there, but your observation about #1 #2 and #3 fuel is well taken so another tank would take care of that.
The furnace just quits after a while. I have replaced every part on it and done the isolation thing for all of the electronic parts and still can't find a problem. I have used it a couple of times this year already and it has workrd fine, but I'm waiting for the other foot to fall and have it quit in the cold times. I think it is probably a short that only occurs occasionaly and is going to be hard to find.
