nope, the motors fire for a couple of seconds then cut out. I think the problem is that I only put $6 worth of furnace oil in as I've a delivery coming tomorrow, but my fuel line has a sort of "U" bend before it goes into the basement. do I have enough fuel to push the air lock thru, or do I need to wait for my delivery?

Ran Out of Oil
I too suggest you wait for the delivery. The driver may be able & allowed to bleed it for you. If after you get the delivery you still have trouble, let us know & we can probably help.
