    I can understand why you'd want to mess around with a pump and burner on such an old boiler, but modern boilers - like cars - are much more clever and advanced. It's best instead to think of them as...

    Very interesting. A few things I'd mention:

    1. Your system seems to be operating at quite a high resolution. Boilers, particularly oil burners don't like to be cycled too much - it's best to limit...

    You're overcomplicating things. You will only need a BDR91 to switch on anything, in this case you'll only need one to signal to your boiler and pumps there's a demand.

    It's probably a pressure problem, or lack of. Before you blame the pump, check also to see if the boiler's system pressure is 'in the zone' (usually between 1 and 2 bar, i.e. around 1.4 to 1.6 bar)....
