For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The pipe size sounds fine to me to cope with the viscosity of Kerosene. You say you have fuel to the tiger loop so i presume you mean that it is primed. You now need to bleed the burner on the boiler. Is it a Single pipe system ? If so then Release the fuel bleed port on the manifold and place a suitable container beneath. Turn on the Central Heating Control Thermostat. Set the operating switch (or programmer) to heating and hot water and allow the burner to run through to Lockout. Wait two minutes and reset the burner control box. Repeat the procedure at least three times or until a steady stream of fuel, without air, is exhausted from the bleed port. Relock the bleed port.
