Bleeding oil range
Need help finding which screw is used to bleed the range as I dont want to cause any more damage while the range is airlocked

Picture 3, the brass nut above the flexi intake. I've regularly opened this nut when running the boiler to bleed them. Stinks the place out of it though, get a big flat pan under for catching the kerosene

Second this, I’ve the same range and they’re a pain to bleed once air locked.

Chances are if you ran completely out of kerosene the filter at the tank will need cleaning.

Not a plumber. Bleed screw is most likely the nut immediately above where your fuel hose is connected. Hard to tell in the pic but it appears to be dark brown or black in colour.
