Why do you need a Tigerloop?
The Tiger Loop is a lifting and de aerating device that improves performance and provides convenience to diesel (oil) boiler installations. However if there is a height difference between the tank and the boiler (the tank being lower) or a long distance between the tank and the boiler, a Tiger Loop is used.
Where does a tiger loop go?
Tigerloop Original De-Aerator - TON110i. The Tiger Loop removes air from heating oil and is fitted on the outside wall of the property, between the tank and the pressure jet burner. This allows the tank to be installed lower than the burner.

How high will a tiger loop lift oil?
- Max lift: 3.66m (12ft) @ 30m (100ft) distance with a 10mm line. - Remove any non‑return valve in the feed line & fit bypass screw to boiler burner pump. - Max nozzle capacity: 110L/hr.
Can a Tiger Loop fail?
Within Tigerloop® itself is a security chamber with a safety float meaning that even in the event of a failure in the device, it is impossible for oil to leak from it.
Can you fit Tiger loop inside?
The Tiger Loop Bio removes air from heating oil and can be fitted internally or externally.
Do you need to bleed a tiger loop?
The Tiger loop should self bleed. Disconnect the return flexi and try starting. You should get oil through the open pipe.
Does an oil tank need to be higher than the boiler?
Plastic Tank Installation Raising the tank so that the bottom outlet is higher than the boiler inlet will allow gravity to feed the fuel directly to the boiler.

How long does an eighth of a tank of oil last?
2-4 daysTypical home oil tanks will fill to 245 gallons, so 1/8 tank will supply about 31 gallons of oil. At 40 degrees F outside temperature, 1/8 tank will last you 2-4 days ( your furnace won't likely be running 100% of that time and, again, there are many variables involved).
How accurate are oil tank gauges?
For that reason, tank gauges are not particularly accurate. They are however a good approximation of how much oil you have in your tank and when you may need more. Most gauges give an inaccurate reading and should only be used as a guide to determine oil levels.
When would you hook up a two pipe system on an oil pump?
A two-line oil piping system is generally required when oil is being pulled from the top of an above ground oil storage tank and it's always required when oil is being pulled from a buried or underground oil storage tank.
What is the best way to escape a tiger?
Get yourself somewhere high up. Tigers are not good climbers and will generally not follow you up a tree. Stand up tall. Tigers do not distinguish between a crouched human, a warthog or a deer.
Can a Tiger climb a cage?
Although adult lions and tigers are not accomplished climbers, they are able to jump very well. Young animals can climb very well, and outdoor enclosures should therefore either have very high sides with an overhang, or a roof, to prevent their escape.
Features
Tigerloop Auto 2 is the perfect solution for de-aerating the fuel line before it reaches an auxiliary heater. When fuel is drawn from the fuel tank, or from a separate tank, air/gas bubbles are automatically released from the fuel. It is this air that causes problems for the fuel pump and ultimately for the heating system.
Technical Data
The Automatic de-aerator for diesel and liquid biodiesel, including a spin-on paper filter. The Tigerloop ® Auto Plus 2 is designed to be compatible not only with diesel produced according to EN 590, but also biodiesel produced according to EN 14214 and HVO diesel (EN15940).

Automotive - Automatic fuel de-aerator for diesel and biodiesel
The same way the Tigerloop has helped in over 4 million oil heating installations world-wide, the Tigerloop Auto is helping buses and other automotive transport systems to run more reliably, run more efficiently, reduce pollution and save on engine wear and tear.
What does frothing mean in a pump?
Frothing indicates air leakage in the pump circuit. Remove the tiger loop, and make sure the non return valve in the return port is not jammed open.
What does it mean when a plastic pipe is frothing?
If you saw frothing in the plastic flow pipe, air is being drawn in somewhere, or there is a blockage in the supply pipe. Tight joints do not necessarily mean they are sealed.
How is the tigerloop connected to the burner?
The Tigerloop is connected to the burner by the usual two flexible pipes, so I can't really see what's going on. I previously had the Tigerloop set up about a metre away from the burner and about 300 mm lower, and in this set up I had a plastic flow tube from the Tigerloop to the burner, which allowed me to see what was going on. After priming the flow tube (not the oil inlet, as is currently the case), I saw a few bubbles coming up, and then a lot of frothing.
What is Tigerloop bio made of?
unfortunately the tigerloop bio is made of aluminium so i can't see inside it... but some oil came out of the bottom last time i disconnected it...
Can a non return valve fix a tigerloop?
It's possible it's a tigerloop fault. Even an additional non-return valve may not fix it.
